Chapter 274: , I can't wait, hurry and serve it up!

University of Tokyo Hospital, the number one ranked hospital in Japan, ICU ward.

Principal Komiyama of the University of Tokyo and a group from the Yonezawa Uesugi Clan stood outside the ward, waiting anxiously.

Not until Professor Funao, the director of the University of Tokyo Hospital, came out personally did the leader, Uesugi Hironori, rush up to ask: "How is it? Director Funao? My father?"

"Sigh, it's nothing serious. Kuninori-san is, after all, getting on in years. His blood pressure spiked due to sudden anger and agitation, and he fainted due to cardiovascular arteriosclerosis. He will be fine after a few days of rest," Professor Funao said gently. "Rest assured, Kuninori-san's body is very healthy. Aside from mild anemia, decreased bone density, and a first-degree atrioventricular block, other indicators are normal. These are natural aging conditions for the elderly and are not serious. He can be transferred to a regular ward directly."

"Phew~" Hearing the director of the University of Tokyo Hospital say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I must trouble Director Funao to take good care of him." Uesugi Hironori's heart finally settled. This fifty-one-year-old next head of the Uesugi Clan looked through the glass at his biological father and prayed in his heart.

Father, you absolutely cannot collapse!

Whether it is Chitokumaru or Yukimatsumaru, they both still need time to grow. I cannot shoulder this burden alone. If you collapse, what will happen to the main family?

This family is finished without you!

The Uesugi Clan and the Maeda Clan both face similar problems: the heads of the house still hold high positions and great influence, but they are advanced in age and only a few years away from retirement, while the younger generation does not yet have the ability to take over.

"You don't need to keep watch anymore. Our University of Tokyo Hospital is already the number one hospital in all of Japan. Only the United States has medical equipment stronger than ours. Kuninori-san, he..."

"Chitokumaru!" Before the words were finished, they heard Uesugi Kuninori's voice calling from inside.

Uesugi Muneyuki and Uesugi Sadanori, the two brothers, looked at each other and decided to go in together.

Uesugi Kuninori sat up from the hospital bed, with a young and beautiful white-stockinged nurse exclusive to the VIP ward supporting his back. The head of the house glanced at Uesugi Muneyuki who had followed him in, and squeezed a smile onto his face: "Yukimatsumaru, why did you come in? Today isn't your wedding."

"I am, after all, the second son of the Uesugi Clan." Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head: "In any case, it's good that Grandfather is fine, otherwise I would definitely throw the head of the Kii Tokugawa Clan and that Tokugawa Ryuichi into Tokyo Bay."

"Heh heh, I saw you hit someone earlier, and the blow was quite heavy. Are you alright?" Uesugi Kuninori's eyes flickered, and he nodded.

"Superintendent Kirekawa has already ruled it as self-defense for me, and the Kii Tokugawa Clan would absolutely not dare to sue," Uesugi Muneyuki said coldly. "Otherwise, they will absolutely not have any good juice to drink."

"Mm." Uesugi Kuninori turned his gaze toward his older brother, Uesugi Sadanori: "Chitokumaru, you don't need to stay here. Today is your big day; hurry and go home with your new wife to consummate the marriage."

"Grandfather! What are you saying?" Uesugi Sadanori was quite exasperated. Having encountered such a situation, how could he have the heart to consummate the marriage?

"If you are truly thinking of me, the most important thing for you right now is to hurry and consummate the marriage and quickly produce an heir. Aside from that, I have no other expectations." Recalling today's events, Uesugi Kuninori was so angry that he closed his eyes and shook his head repeatedly.

For these Old Nobility, the most important thing is face.

For today's wedding, he had utilized all his connections and exhausted his efforts, even linking up with the previous head of the Takeda Clan to go on stage and sing, and setting up a "Sixth Kawanakajima Battle" theme for himself. He never expected it would turn out like this!

The younger grandson, Uesugi Muneyuki, was already as good as given away, and the older grandson's wedding didn't go well. Now, the entire face of the Uesugi Clan was lost!

However, while Uesugi Kuninori thought this way, Uesugi Sadanori also felt immense pressure. Thinking that his younger brother had already been given to the Watanabe Family and his own wedding had turned out like this—nearly causing his grandfather's death because of the marriage—Uesugi Sadanori felt as if he had been sucked into chaos. A pair of invisible, large hands were tightly squeezing his heart. Painful images and scenes from the wedding flashed back repeatedly. He glanced at his newlywed wife outside and felt that her face was like the Paranirmita-vasavartin, the evil demon Papiyas, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King of the Desire Realm Six Heavens.

It is all my fault.

"However, perhaps this is for the best." Just as Uesugi Sadanori was lost in thought, Uesugi Kuninori suddenly said quite relaxedly: "With such a commotion, Chitokumaru, your entry into Tokyo University is secure."

"Eh?" Uesugi Sadanori raised his head.

"After such a big incident, in order to make amends, the entire Tokugawa faction will use all their connections and all their resources to get you into Tokyo University." Uesugi Kuninori's gaze was burning: "This is probably the last thing this old life of your grandfather can do for you."

The two brothers, Uesugi Sadanori and Muneyuki, were stunned at the same time, and Uesugi Muneyuki immediately looked at his older brother.

Uesugi Sadanori first felt a wave of sorrow and couldn't help but have tears well up in his eyes. However, when he felt the gazes of his grandfather, his younger brother, and his father, mother, and wife outside the door, a terrifying sense of suffocation engulfed this future head of the Uesugi Clan. He felt his whole body go stiff, as if his entire body no longer belonged to him.

"Pride and indulgence do not last long, just like a dream on a spring night;

Tyranny and hegemony eventually perish, like dust raised in the wind."

The Sala Twin Trees bloom in the morning and fall by evening; a flower only blooms for one day, like the transience of life—one death, one life; one withering, one flourishing.

When everyone came out, Professor Funao, the director of the University of Tokyo Hospital and president of the Japan Medical Association, suddenly called out to Uesugi Muneyuki: "Uesugi Muneyuki-kun, there are some things I would like to discuss with you."

"Alright." Uesugi Muneyuki was not in the mood.

The two arrived at the corner of the stairs, and Professor Funao asked in a low voice: "Regarding the recent misdiagnosis by Professor Zaizen of your department involving the patient Sasaki Yohei, what are your plans? The second trial is coming up soon, right?"

"I have been busy with matters at the Metropolitan Police Department recently and haven't paid attention to this." Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head.

"Oh, no matter. Since you are a Forensic Pathologist, the patient's family will find you sooner or later. At that time, no matter what you choose, just do as you think best." Professor Funao patted Uesugi Muneyuki on the shoulder.

……………………

Whether his older brother Uesugi Sadanori went back to consummate the marriage that night, Uesugi Muneyuki did not know; in any case, he had no heart to do anything that night.

The events at the wedding hung over Uesugi Muneyuki's heart like a dark cloud, which caused him to be somewhat distracted when he went to work the next day. Fortunately, the old man was fine; otherwise, he would have really stormed the Kii Tokugawa Clan's residence in Ikebukuro and made that unfilial son Tokugawa Ryuichi taste the flavor of a Cursed Grudge.

But come to think of it, it's no wonder that the Adopted Son-in-law system is so popular in Japan. You can't choose your son, but an Adopted Son-in-law can be selected. Since they all have your bloodline flowing in them, rather than passing it on to an incompetent son, it is better to find an excellent Adopted Son-in-law.

Likewise, the commotion at the wedding last night also sparked some rumors, among which it was widely circulated that the famous legendary rookie Forensic Pathologist Uesugi Muneyuki had hit someone and caused serious injury. Reporters immediately pounced like sharks that had smelled blood.

The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office confirmed that the incident did occur, but emphasized that the provocateur had forced their way into the wedding venue and struck first, which constituted self-defense, and the District Public Prosecutors Office would not prosecute based on this incident.

Tokugawa Noriko, the head of the Kii Tokugawa Clan, also stated that this was a private matter and should not be disclosed to the outside world, and apologized to the whole of society for the commotion caused.

Gossip magazines like "Weekly Bunshun" and "Weekly Gendai" were still relentless in trying to make an issue out of this, but unfortunately, the Japanese public didn't really buy it. For regions with such a strong Confucian culture like the three East Asian countries, causing trouble at a wedding is truly too excessive, not to mention the extremely conservative Japanese. Even when "Weekly Bunshun" asked in a very leading way, most of the answers received were "they deserved it."

Also because of this incident, out of apology, the broadcast of "God's Hand SP" on Fuji TV finally got the green light from the District Public Prosecutors Office. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office promised to file a public prosecution within two weeks as much as possible. Once it enters the public prosecution procedure, that live-action crime-solving reality show on Fuji TV can be broadcast normally, but since it involves corpses and murder, it must still be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Once this news came out, the Japanese public was all boiling over.

Great, we can't wait anymore, hurry and serve it up!

"Tsk, the national character of the Japanese is just like this: they like bizarre things, they like police dramas, they like mysteries."

In the Special Mission Unit, Ishihara Mikoto sat at her workstation and complained mercilessly about the comments on the internet: "Taking other people's pain as the source of one's own happiness—this is the inherent inferiority of the Japanese."

"This isn't just the inherent inferiority of the Japanese, right? It seems all of humanity is the same." Acting Unit Chief Okada, the Detective, had black lines appearing on his head, holding a glass of iced Coca-Cola with lemon: "Ishihara-san, don't drag the Japanese into everything! Our citizens don't seem to be that bad, right?"

"That's because you, Okada-san, have never worked as a Forensic Pathologist. If you really worked as a Forensic Pathologist for a few years, you would feel despair toward this society~ despair~ despair~" Ishihara Mikoto gestured quite exaggeratedly: "Look at Nakado Kei from the Forensics Division; it's because he did too many autopsies that he is purely a social-phobic person who has given up on everything."

"Seems like it, huh. The First Division does indeed say that Forensic Pathologist Nakado of the Forensics Division has a super bad temper." Detective Okada did not deny this point: "But his professional level is indeed very solid."

"Can it be as solid as Muneyuki-kun?" Miss Minami sat behind her workstation and said casually.

"Indeed." "Indeed!" "Indeed~" Okada, Ikeda, and Ishihara responded in unison.

Uesugi Muneyuki, solid! Damn solid!

Ishihara Mikoto, Ikeda Erena, and Watanabe Minami looked at each other, and a flush appeared on all their faces.

No blackening, no blowing, speaking one by one, indeed.

Uesugi Muneyuki was in a bad mood and stayed alone in the inner room; because of what happened last night, no one dared to disturb him.

It was just that today, the Special Mission Unit welcomed a special guest.

A young woman wearing a suit skirt arrived at the Special Mission Unit cautiously: "Um... may I ask if Forensic Examiner Uesugi is in?"

"May I ask who you are?" Okada took the initiative to step forward.

"I am Higashi Saeko." The woman in the suit lowered her head and said very reservedly: "I have something I would like to discuss with Forensic Examiner Uesugi."

"It is regarding the lawsuit filed by the family of the deceased, Sasaki, against the lead surgeon, Professor Zaizen, at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University; could you let me speak with him?"
