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

The air in the interview area outside the stadium was as cold as if it were frozen.

The group of entertainment reporters, who had been as energetic as if they had been injected with stimulants, now looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing where to put their microphones.

Although Lu Jingyan's words just now didn't contain a single dirty word, they hurt even more than a direct slap in the face.

What does it mean to have "terrible photo editing skills"?

What is "Oohimi"?

What does "lack of basic policing knowledge" mean?

This isn't just clarifying a scandal; it's practically utterly humiliating Bai Lu's team and also giving the entire internet a crash course in forensic imaging.

"Captain Lu, then... then this lawyer's letter..."

Zhao Tiezhu followed behind, holding the body camera used for evidence collection, and asked cautiously, "Are you really going to issue it?"

"hair."

Lu Jingyan didn't stop walking, her voice cold and hard, "Not only will it be sent to her agency, but it will also be posted online. Some people don't take the law seriously, always thinking that traffic can cover everything up. Well, I'll show her that in the face of evidence, traffic is nothing but a fart."

Ten minutes later.

The official blue-verified account of the Special Investigation Detachment of the Jinghai Municipal Public Security Bureau suddenly updated its status with a new post.

There were no pictures, no emojis, only a short, powerful, and extremely cold text description.

[Solemn Statement]

Regarding the false images and inaccurate statements circulating online concerning our police officer Lu Jingyan and a certain entertainer, we hereby issue the following statement:

[1. Comrade Lu Jingyan and Ms. Bai Lu are complete strangers, have no personal relationship whatsoever, and there is absolutely no so-called "mutual assistance" relationship between them.]

[2. The image circulating online has been examined by a technical department and found to contain obvious signs of retouching (see attached: light and shadow analysis report and comparison with the original image). This act is suspected of fabricating facts and misleading the public.]

3. Police uniforms are symbols of state power, not performance props. Unauthorized use of police officers' images for commercial hype or bundled marketing seriously infringes upon the legitimate rights of police officers and damages the image of the police force.

We urge the relevant parties to immediately delete the false content and cease their infringing activities. Otherwise, we will pursue legal action in accordance with the law.

This is the first warning, and the last.

This Weibo post caused Weibo's servers to crash again.

This is an official slap in the face.

Most deadly.

The "White Dew Turns to Frost" CP fans, who were originally celebrating and shipping the couple in the super topic, suddenly felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of liquid nitrogen.

"Fake? All fake?"

"Even the photos are photoshopped? And badly photoshopped at that?"

"The official stance of personally debunking the rumors... this level of posturing... it feels a bit ridiculous, doesn't it?"

"Officer Lu is so blunt! He doesn't give female celebrities any face at all? She's a top star, after all..."

"Wake up, you upstairs! They're police officers! You're trying to use those fan culture tactics to blackmail them? What are you thinking!"

Public opinion shifted in an instant.

The previously ambiguous, pink bubble was ruthlessly burst, replaced by ridicule and memes across the internet.

The trending topics have changed: #Lu Jingyan is a master at spotting bitches# #Bai Lu's Photoshop skills are disliked by the police# #The fastest CP to end in history#

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room of the provincial TV station's "Following the Police on Patrol," the production team was also completely bewildered by the explosive barrage of comments.

The host was still following the script, trying to connect with Bai Lu, who was in the nanny van, in an attempt to create a "remote interaction" to ride the wave of popularity.

"Um... we've now connected with Miss Bailu."

The host, steeling himself, looked at Bai Lu, whose face was somewhat stiff on the screen, and asked, "Lulu, did you see Officer Lu's statement just now? Isn't there some misunderstanding?"

On the other end of the video, Bai Lu sat in a luxurious nanny van, her makeup exquisite, but her eyes showed some panic.

She hadn't expected Lu Jing's banquet to be so spectacular.

According to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, in such scandals, the male party usually remains silent or gives vague answers, enjoying the benefits of the hype. Who would have thought that this straight-laced guy would directly release a technical appraisal report?

"Um...actually..."

Bai Lu forced a smile, trying to save face, "Actually, that photo was photoshopped by fans for fun, and I thought it was funny too, so I posted it. Officer Lu is probably too serious and doesn't understand our young people's jokes..."

She also tried to shift the blame to the "joke" and use "humor" to defuse the awkward situation.

Just then, the live stream screen suddenly split in two.

On the other half, Lu Jingyan's cold and stern face appeared.

He sat in the special investigation team's office, with a solemn police badge behind him. He didn't look at the camera, but instead looked down at a document in his hand.

"Lady White Dew".

Lu Jingyan's voice came through the connection, interrupting Bai Lu's performance.

"I don't understand the jokes, but I understand the law."

He looked up, and even through the screen, his eyes still carried a chilling sense of oppression.

According to Article 9 of the "GG Law of the People's Republic of China", government agencies shall not use or use in any disguised form the name or image of state organs or state organ personnel.

"Your Weibo post, though cloaked in 'emotional expression,' was actually a promotional tactic for your upcoming single and concert. Your Weibo profile identifies you as a commercial artist, and your actions constitute commercial promotion."

"Using the image of police officers for commercial gain is not only an infringement of rights, but also a violation of the law."

Lu Jingyan closed the document, his tone calm, yet every word was like a knife.

"You say this is a misunderstanding? Fine, then please delete that Weibo post now, in front of the entire internet audience, and pin an apology. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, my colleague will come to your company with a summons and ask you to come back for a chat."

"We'll talk about what a 'meme' is later."

Bai Lu froze completely.

Her smile was on her face, like a cracked mask.

Illegal?

A summons?

She just wanted to create a romantic pairing, so why is she going to the police station again?

That feeling of being controlled instantly reminded her of the fates of Xiao Huohuo and Director Zhang. She wanted to be famous, but she didn't want to be working on a sewing machine!

"I...I'll delete it! I'll delete it right now!"

Bai Lu hurriedly took out her phone and, with trembling fingers, deleted the Weibo post that had received over a million likes in front of the live stream camera.

"I'm sorry... Officer Lu, I didn't understand the law, I've caused you trouble..."

She lowered her head, her voice trembling with tears, looking so wronged that she would have garnered a lot of sympathy under normal circumstances.

But now, the screen is filled with "hahahahaha" comments.

[Hilarious! Officer Lu: Don't try to fool me with ghost stories, I'm only talking about criminal law.]

Bai Lu: I want to date you. Lu Jingyan: I want to talk to you about GG law.

[This is so hardcore! This is the first time I've seen such a forceful way to break up a couple, directly putting the other party on a legal education TV show!]

[Who will dare to ride on Officer Lu's coattails from now on? This is what happens! One warning, next time a silver bracelet will be served!]

Lu Jingyan looked at the female celebrity on the screen who had finally behaved herself, but did not show any joy of victory.

He simply nodded.

"To err is human, to forgive divine. I hope Ms. Bailu will focus more on improving her professional skills and stop resorting to these underhanded tactics in the future."

"After all, no matter how good your photo editing skills are, you can't create a completely innocent background."

After saying that, he immediately cut off the connection.

The screen went black.

But the shock brought by Lu Jingyan was like an aftershock that lingered for a long time.

Inside the nanny van.

Bai Lu stared intently at the blacked-out phone screen, and finally, tears streamed down her face.

shame.

So embarrassing!

She, the center of a top girl group and the dream girl of countless otaku, was actually scolded by a policeman in front of tens of millions of people like a primary school student, making her unable to lift her head!

"Lulu, are you alright?"

Agent Hong carefully handed over a tissue, "That Lu Jingyan is so ungrateful! Let's stay away from him from now on..."

"No!"

Bai Lu suddenly raised her head and slapped the tissue away.

Her eyes, which had been filled with tears, now burned with an even more frenzied flame. It was a resentment born of humiliation, and even more so, a twisted desire for conquest.

"Why did he treat me like this? Why?!"

"Just because he's a policeman? Just because of his rigid rules?"

Bai Lu gritted her teeth, her makeup smudged with tears, making her look somewhat ferocious.

"The more he acts like this, the more I want him! No man I've set my sights on has ever escaped my grasp!"

"But..." Sister Hong was terrified, "He already said he'd issue a summons. If we provoke him again, what if we really end up in jail..."

"What are you afraid of? I haven't actually broken the law!"

Bai Lu took a deep breath and pulled out an itinerary from her bag.

"Isn't there a large charity performance in a few days? The special investigation team is in charge of security inside the venue, right?"

She pointed to the date, a sickly smirk playing on her lips.

"That was a live broadcast, no beauty filters, no photo editing."

"Since he says I don't understand the law, then I'll use my 'strength' to show him what a woman's charm is."

"I refuse to believe that when I'm shining brightly on stage and the whole audience is chanting my name, he can still stand there like a block of wood, completely unmoved!"

"Lu Jingyan, we'll see."

"I haven't lost this round yet."
