Gu Yan Shen walked straight toward Ji Zhenyan, nodding slightly. His tone was calm but carried an undeniable assurance. "Mr. Ji, don't worry. I have already investigated the matter thoroughly."
Ji Zhenyan looked at the powerful man before him, a glimmer of hope igniting in his heart. "Mr. Gu, what do you mean…"
Gu Yan Shen did not answer directly but turned to the officer in charge of directing the police to seal off the Arcade, his tone icy. "Captain Wang, Century Entertainment is suspected of false accusations and commercial defamation. I believe you should be sealing them off, not this Arcade."
Captain Wang was clearly taken aback, evidently not expecting someone to intervene in this matter, especially someone who seemed formidable. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Who are you?"
"Gu Yan Shen." Gu Yan Shen took a business card from his suit pocket and handed it over. "SDS Company. My legal team will arrive in ten minutes; I hope Captain Wang can provide me with a reasonable explanation."
Captain Wang took the card, and his expression immediately darkened. He had certainly heard of SDS Company; its reputation was substantial, and it was not something he could easily offend.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone noticeably softening. "Mr. Gu, there may be some misunderstanding. We came here for a routine inspection based on a report we received."
"Misunderstanding?" Gu Yan Shen scoffed and turned to the crowd of onlookers. "Everyone, I am here today to expose the ugly face of Century Entertainment!"
He raised his voice. "All operations of this Arcade are legal and compliant. Century Entertainment has maliciously reported them in order to swallow this store whole, even bribing relevant personnel in an attempt to achieve their goals through such despicable means—this is simply devoid of any business ethics!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar, murmuring among themselves.
A young man resembling a reporter squeezed to the front, holding up a microphone and asking, "Is everything you said true? Do you have evidence?"
"Of course." Gu Yan Shen gestured to his assistant, who immediately handed him a document.
"This is evidence we gathered regarding Century Entertainment bribing relevant personnel, including transfer records and recorded calls—sufficient to prove Century Entertainment's illegal activities." Gu Yan Shen handed the document to the reporter. "I believe the law will deliver a fair judgment."
The reporter took the document and began to read it carefully while other reporters rushed forward, surrounding Gu Yan Shen and Captain Wang.
Captain Wang's face turned ashen; he knew that this matter could not be resolved easily today. He shot a fierce glare at the pale-faced general manager of Century Entertainment nearby before waving his hand at the police officers. "Dismissed!"
The police quickly withdrew from the Arcade as if relieved from a heavy burden. The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only some reporters still interviewing Gu Yan Shen and Ji Zhenyan.
Gu Yan Shen approached Ji Zhenyan with an appreciative smile on his face. "Mr. Ji, it's an honor to meet you; I am Gu Yan Shen from SDS Company."
Ji Zhenyan politely extended his hand. "Mr. Gu, thank you for your help today; I am very grateful."
"Just lending a hand," Gu Yan Shen shook his hand firmly. "I have always admired capable young people like you; I wonder if you would be interested in joining us at SDS Company?"
Ji Zhenyan was taken aback for a moment, surprised by the invitation.
Gu Yan Shen continued, "We at SDS Company are preparing to participate in the Jingcheng Sword Discussion; I believe with your abilities, you could help us achieve great results."
Ji Zhenyan pondered for a moment before raising his head with determination in his gaze. "Alright, I accept your offer."
As soon as Ji Zhenyan's words fell, a wave of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd. Journalists seized the opportunity, directing their cameras at Gu Yan Shen and Ji Zhenyan, with flashes going off continuously to capture this historic moment.
Gu Yan Shen patted Ji Zhenyan on the shoulder and turned to the camera, saying, "I believe Mr. Ji's joining will inject new vitality into SDS Company. We will definitely achieve good results in this month's Jingcheng Sword Discussion competition. Let's all look forward to it!"
After speaking, Gu Yan Shen led Ji Zhenyan away from the Arcade, leaving the journalists to continue interviewing the spectators who had witnessed this spectacle.
A black Maybach stopped by the roadside, and the window slowly rolled down, revealing Gu Yan Shen's chiseled profile.
"Get in," he said succinctly, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
Ji Zhenyan nodded and bent down to enter the car.
The vehicle glided smoothly along the wide street, flanked by towering buildings. Huge holographic advertising billboards flashed with colorful lights, making this futuristic city appear dreamlike.
"You've heard of Jingcheng Sword Discussion, right?" Gu Yan Shen broke the silence in the car, his tone slightly contemplative.
Ji Zhenyan turned to look out the window, his gaze deep: "I've heard a little. I understand that the final winner can receive a one million prize and leave Jing City."
"That's right." Gu Yan Shen nodded slightly, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the armrest of the seat. "One million is just a small amount; what truly attracts people is the qualification to leave Jing City. You know, for those of us trapped in the flow of time, time is the most precious thing."
"So you want me to help you win the competition?" Ji Zhenyan withdrew his gaze and looked directly into Gu Yan Shen's eyes.
"No, we will win together," Gu Yan Shen corrected him firmly. "I need someone like you—thoughtful and capable—as the chief advisor for SDS Company to help us achieve ultimate victory."
Ji Zhenyan remained silent, quietly observing Gu Yan Shen with no discernible emotion in his eyes.
Gu Yan Shen did not rush him but patiently awaited his response. He knew that someone like Ji Zhenyan would give their all once they agreed.
After a long pause, Ji Zhenyan finally spoke: "I can agree to your proposal, but I have one condition."
"Go ahead," Gu Yan Shen raised an eyebrow.
"I want you to guarantee me," Ji Zhenyan said earnestly, word by word, "that you will use all your resources to help me find a way back."
Gu Yan Shen was silent for a moment; he understood that Ji Zhenyan's "back" referred to returning to his original time.
"Alright, I promise you." Finally, he nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. This young man from the past was more resolute than he had imagined.
"Pleasure working together." Ji Zhenyan smiled slightly and extended his right hand.
Gu Yan Shen grasped his hand without hesitation, confidence shining in his eyes: "Pleasure working together."
