Chapter 14: The Ending

"Miss Ruth said she was a little tired, and went back to rest first, didn't you see her?" As a social person who has been crawling in society for more than ten years, how can he do it if he doesn't know how to tell lies.

Ruth is indeed sleeping now, but the question of where she is sleeping and why she sleeps is better not to be investigated.

"Well, then I'll go back and have a look!" Carl didn't know the twists and turns inside, and he didn't ask after hearing that his fiancée was tired.

"Li, you will be able to get to New York the day after tomorrow, when will the investment you said arrive?" After learning of Ruth's whereabouts, Carl began to ask about other things.

By the way, there were other people who also came over with wine glasses.

There's no way, there are too many tiger skins, and it's not so simple to lie.

But fortunately, Li Qingyuan knew that he would never need to meet with these people in the future, so he talked to them with an indifferent attitude.

The more fearless he was, the more others thought he was unfathomable, and the atmosphere of the whole dinner was very harmonious, and there was nothing different.

Until—

'Buzzing ......'

All they could see was the chandelier overhead and the wine glasses on the table humming, and the whole ship seemed to shake violently.

"What's going on?"

Li Qingyuan held the table with one hand and asked the people around him.

"I don't know, it should be a storm!" Karl replied as he wiped the wine stains from his body.

He was about to drink with his glass in his hand, but the hull of the ship shook and the glass spilled out.

"Everyone, please rest assured, the Titanic is absolutely withstanding, this is the safest ship in the world, just encountered wind and waves, and it's fine!" Within a moment, someone stood up and spoke, telling everyone that it was a false alarm.

Everyone in the banquet hall immediately calmed down and continued to sing and dance.

But!

Li Qingyuan withdrew directly from the banquet hall under the pretext that he was too drunk, and then returned to his cabin.

Ruth was still lying on the bed, and the chick didn't know whether to run around and tease him, and she didn't want to think about who was the hunter and who was the prey.

"Smack!"

Two slaps woke Ruth up, and this silly white sweet chick murmured in a daze.

"No, you let me rest, I really can't do it!"

"Get up, the ship is sinking!"

It stands to reason that he shouldn't care about the other party's life or death, but after all, the two have just had the most intimate contact, and Li Qingyuan feels that he should pull each other a hand anyway.

The current Titanic will not continue to hold on to the sea for more than two hours like the original book, because in order to prevent his craftsmanship from being inaccurate and not sinking, he worked overtime to smash the floors of the eight sealed cabins.

By the way, he also smashed the central keel and the load-bearing wall, and he was idle anyway, and the insurance rate was a little bigger if he knocked a little more, wasn't it?

The reason why the explosion happened just now was because he had stuffed all the yellow explosives he had made in the past few days into the coal pile.

As a steam ship, the Titanic needs to consume a huge amount of coal every day, and more than a dozen catties of explosives are stuffed into thousands of tons of coal, even the gods can't find it.

The boilermakers were dizzy from the harsh working conditions of the year, and even if someone noticed that there might be something unusual about the coal they shoveled, no one would take a closer look at what was going on.

No matter what it is, if you throw it into the boiler, it will be burned to ashes!

So when the explosives are thrown into the boiler, the rest of what happens doesn't need to be explained in detail.

There was an explosion in the boiler room in an instant, and the boiler that was originally out of the critical point would cause a chain explosion after it exploded, directly blowing up the boiler room into a mess.

Originally, if it was just an explosion in the boiler room, it would not be a fatal effect on such a behemoth, at most the ship would no longer be able to drive.

But when the surrounding bilge was shattered due to the aftermath of the explosion, the fate of the ship was immediately sealed.

Even if Li Qingyuan didn't know much about architecture and wasn't proficient in mathematics, he knew that the ship could survive at sea for an hour if it was killed.

Maybe the bottom compartment is now filled with water.

"What? The ship is sinking? How can it be? Ruth got up with sleepy eyes, thinking she was joking.

This is the Titanic, which is known as the unsinkable, the highest masterpiece of the British Empire, how could it sink?

In these years, British manufacturing represents the first in the world, not to mention that this ship is still the face of the British Empire, so even if Ruth is very infatuated with the man in front of her, she still firmly believes in the credibility of her country on this issue.

"Hurry up!" With no time or interest in arguing with the other party, Li Qingyuan always felt that those who still reasoned with women at the moment of crisis were simply sick in the brain, so he slapped Ruth directly and told the other party to quickly put on his clothes.

Ruth was a little dazed by the two slaps, but even though she was quite dissatisfied, she still obediently put on her clothes.

The two walked quickly to the deck, and at this time, there was no figure on the deck except for a few staff members, which showed that no matter where they were, public opinion control was very important.

So far, except for Li Qingyuan, it is estimated that something happened to the captain and several high-level officials on the entire ship.

"You just stay here, I'll go get something, and when the lifeboat is released, you'll leave immediately, and I'll be on the next boat." Holding Ruth's hand, Li Qingyuan admonished her.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that he was leaving because the mission was complete, he really wanted to stay in this world for two more days.

"Qingyuan, I'll wait for you together!" Although she didn't know what was going on, Ruth felt that if she let go now, she probably would never see this man again.

"Obedient, we Oriental men don't like disobedient women!" patted Ruth's palm seriously, Li Qingyuan knew that this stupid girl was a tendon, if he didn't make it clear to her, God knows if she would sink with the boat.

It's a trophy of his own war in this world, and if he dies like this, he will probably be sad for a while.

Probably a few minutes!

Fortunately, at this time, Carl also ran out of the banquet hall and happened to bump into the two of them.

Originally, Carl was still attending the banquet, but when he found out that his wife and Li Qingyuan were gone, he felt a little bad and rushed out of it by the way.

"Carl, you've come just in time!" Seeing this bitter master, Li Qingyuan felt that he should be able to entrust Ruth to him.

No matter what you say, this is also a real fiancé, at least Ruth is much better with him than with Jack's scumbag.

As for whether Carl will commit suicide bankrupt like in the original book?

I have told him so much about the laws of economic development in the later period in the past two days, if he insists on going all the way to death, he can't stop the other party, right?
