……

……

The next morning, at the Tokyo District Court.

At 9:00 a.m. sharp, the legal team from Black Rock Law Firm appeared at the courthouse entrance.

Ken Sakaguchi led ten elite lawyers, each carrying a thick stack of documents.

A large number of media reporters had already gathered outside the courthouse.

They received information that a major lawsuit would be filed today.

"Attorney Sakaguchi! Who is the plaintiff in this lawsuit?"

"Attorney Sakaguchi! I heard the defendant is the Toto Medical Group, is that true?"

"Attorney Sakaguchi! Is this case related to Professor Seiji Fujiwara?"

Ken Sakaguchi did not answer, but simply smiled and nodded, leading his team into the courthouse.

After one hour.

The Tokyo District Court has formally accepted the case:

Plaintiff: Ryo Yamada

Defendant: Dongdu Medical Group

[Case Charges: Forced Transaction and Unjust Enrichment]

at the same time.

The National Tax Service received a detailed report alleging that the Dongdu Medical Group evaded taxes through offshore companies.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare also received a report alleging that the Toto Medical Group covered up a medical accident.

……

……

At noon, Black Rock Law Firm held a press conference.

On stage, Ken Sakaguchi, facing dozens of media cameras, calmly began to speak:

"Hello everyone from the media. I am Ken Sakaguchi from Kuroiwa Law Firm."

"Today, on behalf of my client, Ms. Ryo Yamada, I am formally filing a lawsuit against the Toto Medical Group."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"According to our investigation, Dongdu Medical, through its improper relationship with the bank, forcibly collected the loan from the Yamada family and used this as leverage to forcibly acquire Yamada Hospital, which had an actual market value of 0.772 billion yen, for 800 million yen, far below the market price."

"This behavior is a serious violation of the Anti-Monopoly Law and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law."

He held up a document, facing the camera.

"This is all the evidence we have, including bank collection records, internal emails from Dongdu Medical, and testimonies from multiple witnesses."

Reporters below the stage were snapping photos like crazy.

"Mr. Sakaguchi, why did Mr. Fujiwara help the Yamada family?"

"Mr. Sakaguchi, what is the relationship between Mr. Fujiwara and Ms. Yamada Ryo?"

Ken Sakaguchi smiled slightly: "Fujiwara once said, 'I cannot tolerate anyone bullying innocent people.' That was his attitude."

There was an uproar in the audience.

No one believed such a ridiculous statement, but everyone outwardly pretended to be convinced.

……

Tokyo, Minato Ward, Toto Medical Group Headquarters.

2 p.m.

Office of the Chairman.

Kenichi Tojo sat in his office chair, a summons from the court in front of him.

Tokyo District Court Summons

Defendant: Dongdu Medical Group

Plaintiff: Ryo Yamada

It comes with a lot of publicly available information about the Yamada family, Kuroiwa Law Firm, Seiji Fujiwara, and others.

……

Kenichi Tojo looked at the intelligence report, paused for a few seconds, and then smiled.

"Fujiwara Seiji? He said dismissively, 'An eighteen-year-old brat dares to sue me?'"

The secretary stood to the side and said cautiously, "Chairman, the other party seems to be someone of considerable importance. He's a Naoki Prize winner, and also..."

“I don’t care what award he won,” Kenichi Tojo interrupted her. “In front of me, fame is nothing.”

He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Kishida?" Come to my office. "I have a case to handle."

ten minutes later.

Minister of Justice Masao Kishida entered the office.

Kenichi Tojo threw the summons at him: "Take a look at this."

Kishida took the summons, quickly glanced at it, and then frowned.

"Chairman, the opposing legal team is from Black Rock Law Firm..."

"So what if it's Kuroiwa Law Firm?" Kenichi Tojo said dismissively. "Our legal team is just as good."

“But…” Kishida hesitated for a moment, “the other side has some evidence… bank collection records, internal emails…”

"What can those things prove? They just make it easier for me to find the mole!" Kenichi Tojo sneered. "Don't forget that when we acquired Yamada Hospital, we had the signatures of their guardians. That was legal."

Kishida was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You're right. I will arrange for a legal team to respond to the lawsuit."

Kenichi Tojo waved his hand. "Go ahead. Don't waste too much of my time on such a small case."

Kishida bowed and turned to leave.

Kenichi Tojo leaned back in his chair and lit a cigar.

"Fujiwara Seiji... a mere brat, thinks he can take me down?"

He exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes filled with contempt.

-

The following week.

Kenichi Tojo continued to live his leisurely life.

Playing golf, attending cocktail parties, chatting and laughing with friends from the political and business world...

He didn't take the lawsuit seriously at all.

until--

……

……

Morning of the eighth day.

As soon as Kenichi Tojo arrived at his office, his secretary rushed in in a panic.

"Chairman! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" Kenichi Tojo frowned.

"The IRS...the IRS is here!" The secretary's voice trembled. "They say they want to audit our financial statements for the past five years!"

Kenichi Tojo's expression changed instantly.

"what?!"

He suddenly stood up, rushed to the window, and looked down.

Downstairs, several black official cars were parked at the entrance, and a dozen or so IRS investigators in suits were walking into the building.

“How could this be…” Kenichi Tojo’s forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

The secretary continued her report: "Furthermore... the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has also sent people... saying they want to investigate our medical malpractice records..."

Kenichi Tojo's body trembled slightly.

Just then, Masao Kishida rushed into the office.

"Chairman! We've received news from the court... the evidence they've submitted is very strong, and our defense... may be difficult to uphold..."

Kenichi Tojo slumped in his chair, his expression shifting rapidly.

He finally realized—

Someone is targeting Dongdu Medical!

“Fujiwara Seiji…” he gritted his teeth as he uttered the name, “Who’s behind you?!”

Although Kenichi Tojo was extremely angry, he knew he couldn't afford to lose his composure at this moment.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Kuroiwa Law Firm? This is Kenichi Tojo from Toto Medical. I'd like to speak with Attorney Sakaguchi..."

……

……

in the afternoon.

To temporarily appease the Ministry of Labor and the National Tax Agency.

Kenichi Tojo sat in the conference room, with Ken Sakaguchi sitting opposite him.

“Attorney Sakaguchi,” Kenichi Tojo forced a smile, “Is there some misunderstanding about this matter? I think we can sit down and talk it over…”

Ken Sakaguchi said expressionlessly, “Mr. Tojo, my client is very clear—to take back Yamada Hospital.”

“I can pay it back,” Kenichi Tojo said immediately, “but… what about the National Tax Agency and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare…”

"That depends on Mr. Tojo's sincerity," Ken Sakaguchi said calmly. "If you are willing to return the hospital voluntarily and pay compensation, we can consider... withdrawing part of the complaint."

"Partially?" Kenichi Tojo frowned. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, the National Tax Agency's investigation can be withdrawn, but the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare..." Kenjiro Sakaguchi paused, "If your cover-up of medical malpractice is true, then it's a criminal offense. There's nothing we can do about it."

Kenichi Tojo's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"You...you're trying to kill me!"

“Mr. Tojo, this is your own choice.” Ken Sakaguchi stood up. “If you are willing to cooperate, it’s not too late. If you choose to resist…”

He paused, his tone turning cold.

"Then we will use every means at our disposal!"

Kenichi Tojo's hands were clenched into fists.

After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "I...I need time to think about it."
