Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain

Jack was relieved when he saw that he didn't bother.

Jiang Chen walked along the deck to the back of the ship and looked at the piece of snow-white ice scraped off the iceberg on the deck of the ship's side, his eyes getting darker.

Soon, attendants came with towels, brooms and other items to clean up the ice and snow.

The biting cold air radiated from the ice cubes. Jiang Chen took a deep look, not knowing what to think. Molly Brown walked out of the gorgeous ballroom, "Hockley, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing. I just heard the sound of the boat and came over to take a look." Jiang Chen responded quite politely. Even when facing Molly, who was turned into a rude nouveau riche by Ruth, he did not show any contempt.

Rose, who had been ignored, felt even more weird when she saw this scene. She never thought that one day, she would see Karl, whose eyes were as high as the sky and his heart as high as the sky, treat a woman who was said to be a nouveau riche so politely.

Mrs. Morley smiled and narrowed her eyes, satisfied with his gentlemanly appearance. At this time, she could feel that Karl's behavior was completely out of etiquette, and it was true etiquette. It is not the hypocritical politeness between the so-called superior nobles. "Does your head still hurt? I have tea from the East. It is said that it can relieve hangover. I hope it can help you."

Jiang Chen suppressed his gloomy expression and smiled lightly, "Thank you, Madam, for your concern. I'm fine now."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp female voice came, "Karl!"

Ruth's face was a little dissatisfied. She glanced at Mo Li with disgust. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Chen. She frowned and whispered, "Have you forgotten what I said? Why stay with this ignorant and vulgar upstart?" Come together and follow me quickly!"

Jiang Chen gently withdrew his hand and said, "Madam, please do not interfere with the person I am talking to."

Ruth, who was wearing a tall top hat, was obviously stunned for a moment. The change in his tall and thin bones was more obvious because of his expression, which was obviously a sharp look, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Chen had no intention of arguing with her, "Sorry, I think I need to leave for a while. Sorry." He nodded to Mrs. Morley and received a response.

Ruth, like her daughter, froze. Jiang Chen took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around, "Madam, I think the marriage between the Hockley and Bukater families needs to be reconsidered."

"...?" Seeing Jiang Chen was about to leave, Ruth stopped him with a shrill voice, "What did you say? Karl?"

Jiang Chen repeated patiently, "Cancel the engagement. Sorry, or whatever it is, the person who terminated the engagement can be Carl Hockley or Rose Bukater. Madam, please feel free to do so. But from now on From now on, you and your daughter are free."

Ruth completely lost the elegance of a lady and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! Carl! You just sent out 500 wedding posts to everyone yesterday!"

"I was rude about this. I'm sorry. In short, the engagement is void." He finished this sentence concisely and without any intention of answering, walked back to the cabin.

Rose's eyes were dull, and she couldn't imagine how Karl, who was obsessed with Rose, could suddenly propose to terminate the engagement.

Could it be that Rose was fooling around with that lowly pariah in the low-class warehouse again? She looked around, and sure enough she didn't see Rose, and her expression immediately changed.

As early as when she went to war, Rose led Jack and ran away.

People around were talking a lot.

Even those who didn't hear the cause and effect and just talked and laughed, at this moment, in Ruth's eyes, they became a member of the group who laughed at her and the decline of the Bukater family.

Ruth couldn't bear it any longer, covered her face in disgrace, and hurried back to the cabin.

Her daughter! Her daughter! Carl is now going to sever ties with the Bukater family, Rose, Rose! You are so cruel! If you can't marry into the Hockley family, do you really want your mother to live as a female worker with the Bukater family now in decline?

What a joke!

When Jiang Chen walked to the ballroom, the scene was relatively calm. It seems that Captain Smith blocked the news as in the original plot, in order to avoid panic among the passengers.

If it's going to sink, what's the point of today's blockade.

It's nothing more than deceiving oneself and deceiving others.

Soon, attendants came and distributed life jackets. Jiang Chen looked at the clothes and frowned slightly. Although he was holding them in his hands, he had not yet put them on.

Speer couldn't help but persuade him. After a long time, he put on his clothes and sat at the tea table, as if he really listened to the comforting words of the well-dressed waiter, "This is just a precaution." Just one.”

He sat at the tea table, poured a glass of water, and looked at it calmly, as if he was still on the Titanic singing and dancing, and as if he had no idea what this supposedly unsinkable giant ship was going through. storm.

Ismay came over wearing a life jacket and asked quietly, "Hockley, do you know anything?" He had just witnessed the iceberg scraping the right string with his own eyes, and after seeing Karl walking from the control room, , not long after, the captain sent someone to distribute life jackets.

Carl must know something inside.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and asked calmly, "What does Mr. Ismay mean?"

Ismay looked at the people around him and sneaked closer to him, "Honestly, did something happen to the Titanic?"

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, as if he didn't understand why he asked, "As one of the largest investors in the Titanic, don't you have confidence in the safety of the Titanic?"

Ismay smiled. Security is of course no problem. But we just passed by an iceberg. And the number of life-saving equipment equipped on the ship is very difficult to say.

At that time, for the sake of the beauty of the deck, only half of the lifeboats were installed on the Titanic, which could only carry more than a thousand people. In other words, if something happened, at least half of the people would have to wait for death at sea. He's not here to get information, just in case.

Count Ismay.

It is the investors of this luxury cruise ship who, so to speak, own 90% of the decision-making power on this ship.

But at the same time, he was also one of the indirect drivers of the ship's sinking.

If the earl hadn't wanted the Titanic to be even more outstanding, and tried every possible means to persuade Captain Smith to speed up to New York to highlight the excellence of the Titanic, this shipwreck that shocked the world and could be called the tragedy of the century might not have happened.

When Jiang Chen saw this person and recalled his identity, he vaguely recalled some images in his distant memory.

He... or so he said to the captain, "I'm afraid this is the last time the captain goes to sea, right? If the Titanic can arrive in New York one day ahead of schedule, wouldn't it be an extremely brilliant finale?"

The old captain, who was facing retirement, was moved by this sentence.

Originally, for the sake of beauty, only half of the lifeboats were hung on the deck of the Titanic, but the captain still speeded up the ship with a sense of luck.

In this case, the crew on the observation deck still lacked telescopes, which are basically necessary for navigation in this era...

Thinking about it, it makes people feel ridiculous.

In just this moment, the cause and effect had already gone through in my mind.

Jiang Chen picked up the glass of cold water and took a sip. His mind, which had been groggy from the red and white wine, became slightly clearer.

Captain Smith opened the door and walked straight towards Jiang Chen.

The crowd in the ballroom was stunned.

When he was three steps away, Smith stood still, his eyes fixed on the young man in front of him. He had just received news that this young man had recently threatened the telegraph operator with a gun, causing him to issue a distress order for the Titanic to sink into the sea.

Jiang Chen put down the cup, stood up, and faced the old captain who was said to have had a sailing career for decades.

Smith said nothing, turned around and walked out of the gorgeous ballroom. Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and followed.

Ismay didn't understand at all what kind of tacit understanding the two had reached while looking at each other, and stayed where he was with a blank look on his face.

The sea breeze is biting.

"Did you feel something?" Smith asked.

"……Then what?"

"..." Captain Smith bowed deeply, "Thank you. In any case, Mr. Hockley, on behalf of the entire passengers on the Titanic, thank you for everything you have done."

Jiang Chen held on to the railing of the ship's side, surrounded by the salty smell of the sea and the cold night wind.

"When will the support ships arrive?"

Smith replied solemnly, "The nearest Carpathia will take another three hours."

"How much time is left?"

"Three hours."

Jiang Chen was startled, "Three hours?"

"So I thank you. It's been an hour since you forced Brad to send a distress signal. If you sent the message now, it would have taken four hours. You bought us time."

Fortunately, it took three hours, at least, it was still possible to make it in time. If it had not been slowed down in advance, the situation would have been even worse. Four drainage tanks are now damaged, and the fifth drainage tank is about to lose its hold. Andrews has made it very clear that if the fifth cabin is damaged, the unsinkable ship will inevitably sink in the Atlantic Ocean.

"Really? That's the best prediction, right? What if the dream ship sinks early?"

Smith's eyes were filled with a kind of deep sadness, grief and despair, "Then I can only resign myself to fate."

Even if he can get through the difficulties this time, it is known that he, the helmsman of the Titanic, will probably face inevitable ethical rebuke from the entire world. Perhaps he will be taken to court and put on trial. How many lives have been lost because of one wrong thought.

Even he himself could no longer forgive himself.

There had been gradual changes and commotion on the ship.

When putting down the lifeboat, Murdoch was still interested in keeping the lifeboat beautiful, but Jiang Chen sneered, "When you are waiting to die, will you still care about beauty and ugliness?"

For a gentleman, his words were quite rude. Murdoch's face turned blue and white as he unloaded the pictures of cats and dogs that the passengers wanted to take to the lifeboat, and then loaded up nearly ten people on board. , stuffed.

There was a lady on the ship who was very dissatisfied with the crowding and shouted loudly. It’s not like there were no lifeboats. How could she leave her baby on the Titanic?

Seeing Murdoch in trouble, Jiang Chen sneered and took out the gun from his pocket.
