Chapter 1645 - 1648: Who Ordered Hume?
"But Doctor Xu is extremely clever, you know. If you came here purely for educational purposes, Doctor Xu might teach you a little if he's in a good mood. But with your impure motives, who would teach you anything? Are you going to learn just to humiliate us later?"
"Many of these barbarians are ungrateful. Just look at Hume; even though Doctor Xu saved his life, he repaid kindness with betrayal. These guys are untrustworthy!"
Everyone agreed with Xu Hao's words, feeling that Xu Hao made the Huaya people proud and kept those foreigners in line.
Bazil, hearing Xu Hao's words, turned and glanced at Hume, then said coldly, "Hume, if it weren't for you, maybe Doctor Xu would have agreed to my request. But you ruined everything! Even if you go back to America, I'll use the Cook family's power to completely block you! From today, no medical-related position in America will welcome you!"
Hume immediately roared, "Bazil, you can't do this! What I did this time was just under someone's instruction. If those people hadn't told me as I was leaving to seize the opportunity to kill Xu Hao while he was saving someone, how would I dare to act?"
Bazil said coldly, "Who? How come I don't know?!"
He was genuinely angry; as the team leader for this visit, he didn't even have a proper grasp of the situation among his team members, which was utterly humiliating for him!
Upon hearing Bazil's interrogation, Hume hesitated immediately.
He had spoken those words in extreme anger, but that's his only way out now!
If he exposed those people, then when he returned to America, what might greet him would be a complete ban from the entire American medical industry!
He didn't want to be that hated, like a street mouse!
However, upon meeting Bazil's gaze, Hume steeled his resolve and immediately collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth as if poisoned.
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "Interesting, what's going on here? Is he dead? How did he suddenly change like this?"
Bazil scoffed, "Hume, to play such a self-deceiving trick in front of us doctors, isn't that laughable? Tell me, who instructed you to do this? The American Medical Association and Jiajiu University would never agree to you doing such a thing; it's tarnishing our reputation!"
As a member of the Cook family, there was naturally a sense of pride. Although he came to cause trouble for Xu Hao, he didn't plan to directly attack Xu Hao, knowing that he didn't have the capability.
He didn't even have the intention to assassinate Xu Hao.
Yet Hume, who traveled with him, wanted to assassinate Xu Hao under someone's instruction!
He always felt this represented a disgrace to his reputation!
So, now he wanted to get to the bottom of this, who exactly instructed Hume to assassinate Xu Hao.
Hume glanced at Bazil and the others, then suddenly pleaded, "I really can't say it, and even if I did, you wouldn't believe me."
"Speak!" Clearly, Bazil's patience was wearing thin. He slapped Hume across the face and said coldly.
Now that his identity was public, he didn't need to hide his position anymore.
Even if he killed Hume now, he wouldn't face much trouble.
After all, the Cook family would stand behind him to clean up the mess.
Hume suddenly trembled with fear, realizing he had no bargaining power left with Xu Hao and Bazil, "It's Doctor Andrew from the American Medical Association. He gave me these crossbows, telling me that if I shot at Xu Hao while he was saving someone, I would surely kill him. But I didn't expect so many strong people around Xu Hao, otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to try assassinating him."
Upon hearing that it was Doctor Andrew from the American Medical Association, Bazil was momentarily stunned and then said, "I understand now, Andrew suffered a loss at Xu Hao's hands before. He didn't dare come directly this time, so he made you his scapegoat. Yet you were foolish enough to willingly be his dog!"
Hume quickly responded, "Andrew promised me that if I succeeded, he'd arrange for me to enter the research institute of the American Medical Association. You know if I could get in there, my salary would become very substantial; I couldn't resist such a huge temptation!"
Xu Hao sneered, "So, for that salary, you planned to assassinate me, right? Isn't the American Medical Association fond of speaking about medical ethics? Is Andrew framing me ethical? Or is this typical of everyone in the American Medical Association?"
