Chapter 1083: 370, Public Opinion Begins to Reverse_2
As he analyzed more, William Bailey grew increasingly alarmed, because he realized, if Donnie Block hadn't obtained certain conclusive research evidence, how would Donnie have the audacity to carry out such actions against the world?
After understanding these matters, William Bailey almost crawled out of his bed, rushed to his study, and frantically searched for his earliest research on radium radiation.
At this moment, William Bailey realized that he had been blinded by vast interests, forgetting that radium radiation indeed had harmful effects.
And his research was unfinished!
Thinking through these matters, William Bailey did not choose to give up, because he had invested too much into this, not just him, but also the investors backing him.
If he abandoned Radium Thorium Water now, he would lose wealth, reputation, and even life!
So William Bailey understood that he must stop this.
Thus, William Bailey began to have people fiercely investigate various colleges, because William Bailey knew, Donnie himself couldn't possibly have the ability to research radium radiation independently; he must have obtained reports from some medical or chemical experts to be so reckless about this matter.
Although William Bailey's guess was incorrect, the direction of his investigation was right indeed.
Quickly, he discovered Stanford University and the California Institute of Technology were conducting research in this area!
At this time, William Bailey first sent people under the name of the Radium Product Merchants Alliance to negotiate with Donnie, hoping to make Donnie submit to the current public opinion environment and abandon this matter.
After realizing he couldn't persuade Donnie, William Bailey finally decided to sabotage the laboratory!
This was the reason why the laboratory was attacked earlier!
But what terrified William Bailey was that the people he had paid so much to hire never returned after going to the lab!
This made William Bailey very anxious!
Before this anxiousness ended, William Bailey received news that reputable individuals in California and Ohio were beginning to stand out and call for the boycott of radium-containing products.
By this point, William Bailey was truly panicked!
He worried that Donnie had indeed already developed a research report detrimental to him!
This was how it was; as Atlantic City's constant criticism of this matter and the suspicion already brewing in William Bailey's heart began to make him really think radium radiation might not be as beneficial as he had researched!
Now William Bailey was very anxious; he didn't know what to do!
Continuing with this matter, what if Donnie Block really had conclusive research results?
If he gave up, how could the various investors behind him let him go? And more importantly, William Bailey, who was used to the cheers of the crowd, truly didn't want to give up this kind of life!
Thinking of this, William Bailey decided to make calls to the investors behind him, as despite Donnie Block's large influence, those in his backing weren't to be underestimated either!
So he believed the most crucial thing now was to find a way to stop the work at Donnie's laboratory.
As long as there was no conclusive research report, then all problems would be easily resolved!
Thinking of this, William Bailey hesitated no longer and picked up the phone!
However, at this moment, William Bailey heard the commotion outside his office.
The commotion at this time made William Bailey very displeased, but he had no time to reprimand them as his study door was pushed open!
Several men wearing round hats and dressed in black wool coats walked into his office.
"Who are you people?" William Bailey angrily looked at them; he had no means against Donnie Block, but when facing ordinary people, William Bailey considered himself a big shot!
"Do you know where this is?"
Rhode Granger stepped forward, smiling: "Mr. William Bailey, we naturally know who you are, but now please come with us to the FBI headquarters, we have some matters to inquire about in person!"
William Bailey's face changed suddenly, although the FBI was only a newly reorganized department, William Bailey already knew it was a very assertive department, and they had found him!
"What matters?"
William Bailey forcibly calmed himself and asked Rhode Granger.
Rhode Granger smiled and said: "Mr. William Bailey, you wouldn't say you don't know Dual-gun Quincy Elish, would you?"
William Bailey's expression changed again; he naturally knew Quincy Elish, who was the leader he had sent earlier to destroy Donnie's lab!
"Looks like Mr. William Bailey knows," Rhode Granger said to those behind him upon seeing William Bailey's expression: "Take all the research reports and data from here!"
"No!"
William Bailey suddenly stood up: "You have no right to do this!"
Rhode Granger sneered and said, "Now it's not about you saying we don't have the right!"
Then the FBI members behind Rhode Granger began to act, some rudely restrained William Bailey, while others collected all textual files in William Bailey's office. Not only that, they also rushed into other rooms, searching for all written content.
