Zhang Jizu held a wrinkled telegram in his hand, and his brows were furrowed. The telegram came from his hometown, which he received early yesterday morning, with a total of only five words: "Receive the telegram and return immediately, urgent!" "What's going on at home? Could it be that the old man is going to force marriage again? Zhang Jizu guessed in his heart that the old lady of the Zhang family had already set a doll for Zhang Jizu, and the in-laws were another big family in the same town: the Li family. The Li family has a daughter, who is about the same age as Zhang Jizu, and is said to be knowledgeable, virtuous and dignified. Mrs. Zhang has long hoped that Zhang Jizu can get married as soon as possible, so that he can spread the branches and leaves for the Zhang family. Don't look at Zhang Jizu who was born stubborn, but he is very filial, and never dares to disobey his father's wishes, but from the bottom of his heart he is very reluctant to do this family business, so he tried every means to drag it out, and the old man of the Zhang family was also helpless, and finally agreed that Zhang Jizu would marry Miss Li after he returned from abroad. "But it's been less than a year since I left home, why is the old man so anxious to urge me to go back, could it be that the Li family is urging me? Oh, what if that's the case? The more Zhang Jizu thought about it, the more unsteady he became.

Just when Zhang Jizu was alone in the cabin and thinking nonsense, there was a theft case in the same first-class room 003, the victim was a young beautiful lady, at this time she was arguing with the ship's first mate Mike, their voices were getting louder and louder, and room 003 was surrounded by a lot of passengers watching the excitement.

"That is my family's ancestral jade bracelet, which is priceless, since it is missing on the ship, you must be responsible!" The beautiful lady had wide apricot eyes and spoke fluent English.

"Oh! Believe me, beautiful young lady, the Triumph is one of the safest cruise ships in the world, and you will not lose such a precious treasure, please look for it again, maybe it is hiding naughtily? Mike wanted to appease the young lady with his humor, and he could see that Captain Phillips was not in a good mood today, and he did not want to be reprimanded by the captain for these things.

"No, I've been looking for a long time, not at all, it must have been your people who took the sheep when cleaning the room just now, I want to see your captain!"

"However, this is not possible, our sailors are reliable old seamen, and it is impossible for them to steal the passengers' belongings." Mike said as he shrugged his shoulders in defense.

The noise attracted more travelers to open the door to take a look, and even some of the travelers on the lower floor stood on the stairs leading to this level and watched and whispered.

"Let's go, what's going on, what are you doing here?" The bearded captain Phillips was finally attracted by the noise, and Phillips impatiently pushed through the crowd with his big hand, walked to the door of room 003, looked down into the room, and then blurted out with a frown: "Oh God! How could it be you again? ”

It turned out that the beautiful Chinese lady in room 003 was the one who had made Phillips sulk just now, and he had really learned that this young lady had a sharp mouth, although he looked down on the Chinese from the bones, but after a competition, he had to admit that this young Chinese woman was too powerful, her beautiful appearance was definitely her best disguise, and his intuition told him that this eldest lady was still less troublesome, so Phillips would be so surprised.
