Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

The siren sounded like a sharp knife, piercing the bustling night sky of Jinghai City.

Police tape has been put up at the entrance of "Night Colors" KTV.

The red and blue flashing lights illuminated Xiao Huohuo's pale face, making his deliberately applied "battle-damaged makeup" look particularly ironic.

He was making grand pronouncements in the car just now, saying he wasn't afraid of explosions during filming.

My calves are already cramping before I even get off the bus.

"get off."

Lu Jingyan pushed open the car door, his voice as cold as ice, "Remember, stay behind me, don't wander off, and don't cause any trouble."

Xiao Huohuo swallowed hard, forcing himself to maintain a semblance of dignity as a top influencer, and straightened his collar in front of the live stream camera.

"Don't worry, Captain Lu, I've been trained. If we're short-handed later, I can fill in."

The comments section was filled with jubilation.

[Brother, you're so brave!]

[This is a real man! Those haters who call him effeminate, come out and get your comeuppance!]

Looking forward to seeing my brother show off his skills and subdue the thugs!

Lu Jingyan ignored his boasting and strode into the KTV.

Zhao Tiezhu followed closely behind, carrying a police baton, his eyes as sharp as a cheetah's.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a strong smell of alcohol mixed with the stench of blood hit us.

At the entrance of VIP room number 888, several waiters huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

The sound of shattering glass, a man's rude roar, and a woman's screams came from inside.

"Get out of my way if you don't want to die!"

"Bang!"

A beer bottle flew out and smashed against the corridor wall, scattering shards of glass all over the floor.

Xiao Huohuo instinctively shrank behind Lu Jingyan, and the "pushing forward" spirit she had just had vanished instantly.

"action!"

Lu Jingyan gave the order.

Zhao Tiezhu kicked open the door to the private room, and the heavy soundproof door slammed against the wall as if it were made of paper.

"Police! Don't move! Put your hands on your heads and squat down!"

That roar unleashed the power of a tiger howling through the mountains.

The scene inside the private room was even more chaotic than I had imagined.

The floor was littered with broken wine bottles and fruit platters, and the marble coffee table was overturned to the side.

Two groups of people were fighting, each with tattoos of dragons and tigers and a face full of fierce features.

Blood stained the white floor tiles, a shocking sight.

Seeing the police rush in, the drunken men, who were in a bloodthirsty frenzy, not only did not stop, but instead picked up bottles and tried to fight back.

"court death!"

Zhao Tiezhu sneered and rushed forward with a standard grappling move.

"Snap!"

That was the sound of a dislocated wrist.

Before the drunkard in the lead could react, he was slammed onto the ground covered in shards of glass, letting out a bloodcurdling scream.

The other SWAT team members quickly followed and brought the situation under control in less than half a minute.

Lu Jingyan stood at the door, not in a hurry to take action, but calmly observed the whole scene, giving instructions with composure.

"Carry the injured out and call an ambulance. Remove all unrelated personnel from the scene."

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

Xiao Huohuo stood at the door, watching this scene, and froze completely.

This is... a real brawl scene?

There were no wires, no blood packs, and no director yelling "cut."

That thick, dark red liquid was real human blood.

The nauseating smell of rust in the air assaulted my senses.

He felt a churning in his stomach, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

"Make way! Make way, everyone!"

Just then, a fat man covered in blood suddenly jumped out from behind the sofa.

His head had been split open, and blood was flowing down his forehead, covering his entire face and making him look ferocious and terrifying.

The fat man wasn't aggressive; he was just stunned by the beating and tried to run towards the door.

Unfortunately, Xiao Huohuo was standing in the doorway, striking a pose for the camera, trying to project a cool and fearless image.

The fat man rushed over and grabbed Xiao Huohuo's meticulously tailored "police uniform," leaving a bloody handprint.

"Officer...help...help me..."

The fat man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth, his bloodied face less than ten centimeters away from Xiao Huohuo.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Xiao Huohuo's eyes widened, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He stared at the bloody handprint, at the terrifying face, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Fear overwhelmed his reason like a tidal wave.

"ah--!!!"

A piercing scream, so sharp it was almost comical due to its cracked tone, burst from the throat of this "tough guy" icon.

The sound was more pitiful than the drunkard whose hand had just been broken, and more piercing than the sound system in a karaoke bar.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of tens of millions of viewers across the internet.

Xiao Huohuo rolled her eyes and fell straight backward.

"Thump."

He fainted.

The dizziness was swift and decisive, without any lingering or hesitation.

Even as he fell to the ground, he twitched twice due to inertia, instantly turning his meticulously styled hair into a bird's nest.

The scene was deathly silent.

The fat man who had cried for help was stunned. He held up his bloodied hand and looked innocently at the "police officer" on the ground.

"I...I didn't hit him...I just wanted him to help me up..."

The live stream chat exploded with comments after a brief pause.

【? ? ? 】

[Holy crap? I'm dizzy already?]

[Who just said my brother was a tough guy? Come out and show yourself! This guy looks like Lin Daiyu!]

[That's hilarious! That scream made me think he'd been shot! Turns out he just fainted from fright?]

Is this the true value of being a top star? Fainting at the sight of blood? Stop making action movies, go play Sleeping Beauty!

Hearing the noise, Lu Jingyan turned around and glanced back.

He looked at Xiao Huohuo lying dead on the ground, then at the bewildered injured man, and shook his head helplessly.

"Su Xiaoxiao, pinch her philtrum."

There was no surprise in Lu Jingyan's voice, as if he had expected this scene all along.

"This kind of mental fortitude is worse than even the old lady who tries to scam people by committing insurance fraud."

Su Xiaoxiao suppressed a laugh and ran over to give Xiao Huohuo first aid.

"Captain Lu, his heart is beating a little fast, probably from being scared, but he's alright."

"That's good. It's bad luck to die here."

Lu Jingyan waved his hand, "Call a stretcher and carry him out, so he's not blocking the way."

Several medical staff rushed over and lifted Xiao Huohuo onto a stretcher like a dead pig.

Watching the "tough guy" being carried away, Lu Jingyan turned around and turned his gaze back to the depths of the private room.

The "crime radar" did not stop alerting people after the fight ended.

Instead, the red exclamation mark flashed even more rapidly.

He stepped over the bloodstains and shards of glass on the ground and walked to the innermost corner of the private room.

That was a cabinet used to store miscellaneous items; it was knocked askew during the fight.

Lu Jingyan squatted down and felt around in the gaps under the cabinet with his white-gloved fingers.

It felt cold to the touch; it was a plastic bag.

He pulled hard.

A black waterproof bag was pulled out.

Upon opening the bag, several tightly sealed packets of white powder were found, gleaming eerily in the dim light.

Lu Jingyan narrowed his eyes.

This is no ordinary brawl in a karaoke bar.

This is clearly a case of unequal distribution of spoils.

"Iron Pillar".

Lu Jingyan stood up, held the bag high, and spoke in a cold, piercing voice.

"Seal off the scene and conduct urine tests on everyone."

"Looks like we've caught a big fish tonight."
