21st Century Necromancer

Although Qingdai had provided Chen Yu with a lot of information, it didn't really mean much to him.

The information certainly belonged to the Tashiro Family's secrets, and could even be considered very important secrets, but the main point was still that the Tashiro Family bore ill will towards Chen Yu, and both Tashiro Nanao and Qingdai were after the patent and formula for his broad-spectrum anti-cancer agents. And these were exactly the things that Chen Yu had already seen through. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Perhaps Qingdai, as she said, disliked her family's lackluster performance and had therefore always exhibited vulgar methods, yet it could not be ruled out that this was all part of her calculated plan. The purpose was to get Chen Yu to let his guard down, then confess two already exposed truths to win his favor and reverse his impression of her.

After all, Qingdai seemed to have disclosed everything, but in actuality, she had not revealed any truly confidential information. At the very least, she never mentioned the fact that she was a Transcendent, nor that the Tashiro Family belonged to a family of Transcendents, let alone that the Tashiro Family had an old monster who had lived for over a hundred years—Qingdai would certainly not tell Chen Yu such things.

So, for Chen Yu, knowing this information was certainly nice, but in fact, it was neither helpful nor meaningful. If he relaxed his vigilance against Qingdai because of this, he would instead suffer a great loss.

Deciding to ignore these matters, Chen Yu still arrived at the ward as per his original plan. After making a short round of the patients he was responsible for and checking their conditions, Chen Yu visited the VIP ward.

Since Wang Jiancheng and Zhu Yiting had already returned to their country, the only VIP patient Chen Yu was now responsible for was Nanami. And as Nanami's physical health gradually recovered, she was almost ready to be discharged.

Upon arriving at the ward, Chen Yu saw Member of Parliament Kosuke Kanai standing by the window looking outside. With Nanami not in her bed, he approached Kanai, and looking out at the garden where Nanami was working hard to walk with the support of a cane, Chen Yu said to Kanai, "Member of Parliament Kanai, you really have a wonderful daughter. Nanami is very diligent! Most people don't recover at the speed she has."

Although Nanami couldn't walk like a normal person yet, she could now walk on her own without anyone's help with the support of a cane, which was a huge improvement over her previous state where she needed a nurse's assistance to walk.

This progress also greatly comforted Kosuke Kanai. For this member of the National Diet, even becoming Prime Minister could not compare to the joy of seeing his daughter stand up again.

"All of this is thanks to you, Professor Chen Yu. If it weren't for the surgery you performed on Nanami and healed her leg, she probably wouldn't be able to stand up right now," Kosuke Kanai's gratitude towards Chen Yu grew as his daughter's recovery progressed.

If not for Chen Yu, even if Kosuke Kanai could defeat his political rival and become the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare to promote medical reforms as he had planned, it would likely have been very difficult to heal his daughter. It was precisely because he recognized this that Kosuke Kanai was especially grateful to Chen Yu.

"Treating illnesses and saving lives is the duty of a physician, and since there are patients in need of help, how could I, as a doctor, be stingy with my assistance?" Chen Yu said this, then he couldn't help but nod slightly towards Kosuke Kanai in acknowledgment. "Besides, haven't I already received your thanks, Mr. Kanai?"

"Those were just two modest gifts, how could they possibly be enough to express my gratitude for Professor Chen Yu's help with Nanami?" Kosuke Kanai also smiled, but he didn't feel that the two "modest gifts" he had given Chen Yu were sufficient to compensate him, hence his especially polite tone throughout the conversation.

However, after exchanging pleasantries, Kosuke Kanai asked Chen Yu, "Professor Chen Yu, I wonder if you were satisfied with those two modest gifts? If there's anything you need assistance with regarding the establishment of the Regenerative Medicine Research Laboratory, please feel free to speak up; there's no need to be polite with me."

"You're too kind, Mr. Kanai. Being able to get the approval documents was already a huge favor. As for the laboratory's establishment, I've already left it in the hands of my subordinates. The location has been set up, and renovation is underway. I believe it won't be long before the laboratory can officially start operating," Chen Yu replied politely to Kosuke Kanai and updated him on the progress of the laboratory's setup.

Hearing that the laboratory would soon be operational, Kosuke Kanai became visibly delighted and said in a reassured tone, "That's truly wonderful. With this research laboratory, I'm sure you, Professor Chen Yu, will be able to help even more people! Please don't forget to inform me when the laboratory officially opens; I definitely want to be there to support you! Ahahaha!"

"Of course, I'll definitely expect your presence, Mr. Kanai." Chen Yu wouldn't refuse an opportunity like this and, with a smile, he agreed right away.

After a brief discussion about Nanami's condition and her post-surgery rehabilitation, Kosuke Kanai suddenly asked Chen Yu, "I wonder, Professor Chen Yu, can this research of yours—the surgery that cured Nanami—be promoted? The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is indeed pushing for reforms in the medical industry. Mr. Isshiki Kazumasu, a strong candidate for the next Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, is currently advocating to increase our country's judicial autopsy rate, aiming to spread a model for clarifying the causes of unnatural deaths nationwide, which has won him quite a bit of support.

However, no matter how much the judicial autopsy rate is raised, it ultimately deals with the deceased and has little practical significance for the living. But your research, Professor Chen Yu, is different. If such technology could be promoted, I believe we can enable many more paralysis patients, who were once like Nanami, to stand up again and regain their health! That is what truly would increase the happiness index of our citizens and improve national welfare.

So, I'd like to ask if your research results can be promoted? If so, could we apply your technique at the Regenerative Medicine Research Laboratory and turn it into a medical center, where other doctors can also learn this technique from you, Professor Chen Yu? Then, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare could take charge of promoting this treatment method to save more paralysis patients."

"Are you suggesting that we promote this treatment approach, Mr. Kanai?" Chen Yu understood Kosuke Kanai's intention; he wanted to use the promotion of his own nerve reconstruction surgery technique to gain more political capital to counter Mr. Isshiki Kazumasu, who supported UDI.

This, however, had no adverse effect on Chen Yu. His purpose in proposing the technique and publishing the paper was to promote it and help more people. Now that he could get government support and promote it in the name of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, he couldn't ask for more. So, without any hesitation, he agreed to Kosuke Kanai's request and gave him an affirmative answer.
