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

The special investigation team's office was brightly lit.

The table was piled high with takeout boxes, and the air was filled with the aroma of crayfish and soda.

Although it was late at night, everyone was incredibly energetic.

Su Xiaoxiao huddled in her workstation chair, clutching her phone, laughing so hard her whole body was shaking – a sign that she was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that she was practically injuring herself.

"Hahaha... I can't take it anymore... My stomach hurts..."

While rubbing her stomach, she handed her phone to Zhao Tiezhu next to her, "Brother Zhu, look at these trending topics! This generation of netizens is so talented!"

Zhao Tiezhu leaned closer to take a look, and a crack of schadenfreude appeared on that honest face.

The top trending topic: #WhiteDew'sMostTragicStraightManSlayerInHistory#

Second on the trending list: #OfficerLu's electronic impotence (crossed out) is sobering#

Third on the trending list: #As long as you're fast enough, even a flirty glance can't catch me#

"Captain Lu, please take a look."

Undeterred, Su Xiaoxiao held her phone up to Lu Jingyan, who had just changed into casual clothes, her eyes sparkling. "The whole internet is praising Bai Lu. She used to be known as the 'straight man killer,' meaning no straight man could escape her charm. But tonight, she's been defeated by your set of 'Regulations on the Administration of Commercial Performances.'"

Lu Jingyan was wiping his glasses.

Upon hearing this, he paused slightly, raised his eyelids, and glanced at the colorful screen.

On the screen was Bai Lu's terrified, ashamed, and desperate face, which had been turned into various meme-worthy expressions.

The caption reads: "Officer, please stop scolding him. The child knows he was wrong."

"boring."

Lu Jingyan put on his glasses and spoke calmly, as if he wasn't the one who had just torn apart a top female star in front of tens of thousands of people.

"What 'straight man killer'? That's feudal superstition."

He picked up the thermos on the table, blew on the goji berries floating on the surface, and took a sip.

"For me, there is no difference between 'slaying men' and 'slaying women'."

Lu Jingyan put down his cup, and in that instant, the air pressure in the office inexplicably dropped two degrees.

In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people.

"One type is law-abiding citizens, who are protected by law."

"One type is suspected lawbreakers, who are handcuffed."

He pointed to Bai Lu's beautiful face on the screen, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at a wanted poster.

"I don't care if she's a straight man's dream girl or a gay man's dream girl, as long as she dares to challenge the bottom line of the law in my jurisdiction, I'll kill her."

"The 'zhan' in 'zhanlijue' (to execute someone immediately)."

Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Tiezhu exchanged a glance and simultaneously gave each other a thumbs up.

This is Captain Lu.

Cruel person.

He can even treat this kind of unexpected romantic encounter as a case; with that level of awareness, he deserves a promotion and a raise.

"Alright, that's enough gossip."

Lu Jingyan glanced at the clock on the wall, his expression returning to its serious, working demeanor. "Let's get down to business."

He walked up to the whiteboard covered with photos.

After this period of swift action, most of the photos on the whiteboard have been removed.

Xiao Huohuo went in, Director Zhang went in, Producer Lin went in, and even Leng Qingqiu, who wanted to engage in "forced love," went in.

The once deeply entrenched network of criminal gangs in the entertainment industry has now been dismantled.

"What's the situation with Huayi Media right now?" Lu Jingyan asked.

"Boss Wang is selling off his assets in preparation for fleeing, but the Economic Crime Investigation Department is already watching him, so he can't escape."

Zhao Tiezhu reported, "As for Bai Lu, she was taken away and questioned by the cultural inspection team after the performance. It is estimated that she will have to suspend business for half a year and pay a large fine."

"very good."

Lu Jingyan nodded, but his gaze did not leave the whiteboard.

His gaze passed over the names marked with red crosses and finally settled on the most central, yet most inconspicuous, corner of the network of relationships.

There was a picture of a back view that had no distinguishing features.

Code name: The Godfather.

"Although most of the little devils in front of the stage have been caught, the king of hell behind the scenes is still hiding."

Lu Jingyan's fingers tapped lightly on the code name. "Who wrote this mind-blowing script, 'The Overbearing Immortal Venerable'? And who handled Xiao Huohuo's 'yin-yang scripts' used for money laundering?"

"If we don't cut off this source, it won't be long before there's another Director Zhang, another Xiao Huohuo."

Su Xiaoxiao immediately sat up straight and her fingers flew across the keyboard.

"Captain Lu, I was just about to report this!"

She pulled up an encrypted document, and her expression became unusually serious.

"While cleaning up Xiao Huohuo's and Director Zhang's electronic devices, I discovered a common contact person. They both called this person 'Teacher' or... 'Master'."

"This person is very mysterious and never shows his face. All script transactions and money laundering instructions are carried out through an encrypted server located overseas."

"but!"

A sly glint flashed in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes. "Even the wisest can make a mistake. When he sent the script to Xiao Huohuo, he attached a section of the original document's attribute information to show off."

A line of code appeared on the big screen.

Creator: WenChaoGong.

Creation time: 2023.

"Plagiarist?" Zhao Tiezhu scratched his head. "Why does that name sound so familiar? Like someone who writes online novels?"

"Not just those who write online novels."

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. "Following this ID, I hacked into... oh no, I technically investigated his cloud database. Guess what I found?"

She pressed the Enter key.

The screen was instantly filled with densely packed folders.

Harry Potter and the Dark Arts, The Wandering Earth, The Three-Body Problem, Let the Bullets Fly...

These are all classic masterpieces that have never been heard of in this world, but are renowned in Lu Jingyan's original world!

"This guy is a time traveler."

Lu Jingyan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Moreover, he not only time-traveled, he also brought a cheat code."

"With a cheat code?" Zhao Tiezhu looked completely bewildered.

"Look at the generation times of these files."

Lu Jingyan pointed at the screen, "It generates 100,000 words per second, the plot logic is flawless, and even the storyboard is generated automatically. This isn't human speed, this is AI, or... a system."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, her expression one of horror.

"That's right, Captain Lu. I detected an unusual energy fluctuation in his data stream, similar to the energy Gu Yanchen experienced during his prison break, but stronger and more stable."

"This 'plagiarist' has a system called 'Entertainment Tycoon'."

"He used this system to steal cultural treasures from another world, amassed a fortune in that world, and even manipulated public opinion by implanting brainwashing messages in scripts, thus building his vast business empire."

"Huayi Media is nothing more than a puppet he put on the front stage."

The truth came out.

The culprit who had been hiding behind the scenes, stirring up trouble in Beijing and causing countless people to fall into chaos, has finally surfaced.

A transmigrator with a system.

A "cultural godfather" who rose to power through plagiarism and brainwashing.

"That's interesting."

Lu Jingyan took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and a cold smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"I originally thought we were just arresting a few lawless actors, but I never expected that we would end up arresting a 'deity' as well."

He turned around and looked out at the pitch-black night.

"Have you found his location?"

"Found it!"

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly, "It's in Building No. 1 of the most expensive 'Cloud Palace' villa district in Jinghai City! That guy is having a party right now to celebrate the completion of his new script!"

"celebrate?"

Lu Jingyan picked up the leather jacket from the back of the chair and put it on as he walked out.

"Then let's not keep him waiting."

"Pack your gear and get everyone moving."

"Tonight, let's go deliver a real... grand finale to this 'plagiarist'."
