America 1919

Donnie came to his study, forcing himself to calm down.

This situation has already occurred; if I only focus on resolving it, it merely makes me safer and doesn't bring much benefit!

That's Donnie for you. Once he decided to take action, he only thought about how to gain more advantage from this situation!

After figuring everything out, Donnie had arranged his next steps!

Firstly, Donnie made three phone calls, respectively to Helen in Atlantic City, Robert in New York, and Rhode Granger in Washington.

He instructed them to come to New York immediately to meet him.

Next, Donnie called Alice over.

"Now, you need to inquire from everyone in the manor to see if anyone has come into contact with products containing radium. Remember, you must investigate thoroughly without missing anything, and if you find someone has been in contact with radium products, dismiss them immediately!"

Donnie spoke to Alice seriously.

"Alright, I'll do it right now!" Alice could tell how extremely important this matter was to Donnie from his recent demeanor; even if she was usually frivolous, she understood that this issue must be severe.

"Donnie!"

However, just as Alice was about to leave, she suddenly asked Donnie, "I want to inform Theo and the others about this matter!"

Donnie nodded and said, "Sure, but they might not believe it!"

Currently, regarding the harmfulness of products containing radium, only Donnie knew. Even the laboratories researching radium products might know a bit, but for profit, they certainly wouldn't disclose it.

Therefore, Donnie didn't think others would believe him without any evidence in this environment where radium products were being universally praised.

"By the way, call Randolph in!"

Since Randolph Roman replaced Steve Cotting, he had always served as Donnie's assistant and driver, now responsible for the entire manor's security.

"Hmm!"

Soon after, Randolph Roman arrived at Donnie's study.

"Boss, any instructions?"

Donnie was already wearing a mask at this point and asked, "Have you ever come into contact with radium products?"

Randolph Roman was taken aback and said, "Velas mentioned it to me, but I've never had the chance to buy any!"

Donnie immediately furrowed his brows; as expected, someone around him had come in contact with it. As for Velas mentioned by Randolph Roman, Donnie knew he was one of Donnie's bodyguards, but he was responsible for outer security and hadn't had close contact with Donnie.

"Is there anyone else besides Velas?" Donnie asked gravely.

Randolph Roman thought for a moment and said, "In our squad, there should be a few who've had contact. You know some of these people have injuries from the battlefield, and they say Radium Thorium water can effectively relieve pain.

But Radium Thorium water is quite expensive, so they probably haven't drunk much!"

Donnie: "..."

Knew things couldn't be this lucky.

"Now, you need to immediately check all the squad members and give a leave to anyone who's had contact with Radium Thorium water, let them rest at home, and notify them that if they use Radium Thorium water again, the squad won't employ them!

Without my orders, these people are not allowed to return to their posts."

Donnie's bodyguard team became the squad.

Although Donnie wanted to directly dismiss these people, the entire squad could be said to be the last barrier ensuring Donnie's safety. Donnie didn't want to leave a stingy and ungrateful impression on them, so he decided to send them home. As for the future, Donnie certainly wouldn't let these people come back to him!

Donnie was already considering replacing his entire squad, even though the likelihood of contagion was small. He didn't want to take any risks with this matter.

"Yes!" Not knowing Donnie's true intentions, Randolph Roman nodded.

Then Donnie also instructed Randolph Roman to lead the remaining people to enhance protection of the manor, mainly ensuring that anyone entering during this time must be healthy and untainted by radium products.

After Randolph Roman left, Donnie called Kritch, instructing him to come to New York too.

The matter of replacing the squad would be tasked to Kritch!

Arriving first at the manor was naturally Robert, who was already in New York.

Whenever Robert came to Block Manor in the past, he would drive straight into the manor, but today his car was stopped at the gate!

"Randolph, what's going on?"

Robert stuck his head out and asked Randolph Roman.

Randolph Roman: "Mr. Lillard, please step out of the car!"

Robert suspiciously got out and asked again, "What's happened?"

Randolph Roman shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's the boss's special directive; from now on, anyone entering the manor must get out of their vehicle, bathe, and change clothes there!"

Saying this, Randolph Roman pointed to a temporary house set up at the entrance, with workers also building new houses nearby!

Robert's face changed, "Did something happen to Donnie?"

Randolph Roman immediately replied, "The boss is very safe, and if Mr. Lillard has any doubts about this matter, you can call the boss through the gatekeeper's phone!"
