There was silence at the table for a while, and everyone's eyes fell on the cards of Captain Smith and Liu Minghao, and everyone looked different, no one expected such an unexpected ending. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Minghao raised his hand and clicked the cards in front of him, and smiled at Captain Smith, "It seems that my good luck seems to have run out, and the biggest winner is still you." ”

"Sure enough, at the poker table, no one can predict the outcome until the last minute." Andrew picked up a thin cigar and lit it, leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and showed a regretful expression to Liu Minghao.

Liu Minghao looked very calm, and smiled at Ye Xue beside him, "I'm really sorry, I lost all your money." ”

Ye Xue looked very calm, still with a sweet smile on her face, stood up with Liu Minghao's arm, and said softly, "It's okay, there are always winners and losers at the gambling table, so it's interesting." ”

"Hmph, if you lose, you lose, your skills are not as good as others, so why make any excuses." Kerry's face was still a little ugly, and he mocked Liu Minghao.

Liu Ming smiled slightly, patted Yexue's arm soothingly, ignored Kerry's forceless provocation, stood up and walked to Captain Smith's side, politely stretched out his right hand, and congratulated him.

Captain Smith had calmed down at this time, with a residual smile on his face, he looked at Liu Minghao thoughtfully, shook the hand that was stretched out, slightly forced, narrowed the distance between the two, and said in a low voice, "Your skills are very good, and you are a rare master I have encountered, with your performance in the first few rounds, I don't believe that you will make such a low-level mistake, lose me such a large sum of money, no matter what your purpose, any attempt that may be detrimental to the voyage is not allowed." ”

Liu Minghao supported the table with one hand and the back of the chair with the other, lowered his body slightly, and said in a low voice, "This is just a reward for you, I don't have any purpose, if I have to say the attempt, it is to hope that you can maintain the current speed with consistent stability." Arrive in New York Harbor as scheduled. ”

Captain Smith's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of him with surprise, although the voices of the two were not high, but Kerry and Andrew, who were sitting at the card table, also heard their conversation.

Before Captain Smith could speak, Kerry stood up angrily and said coldly to Liu Minghao, "You are also for who you are, and you dare to be disrespectful to Captain Smith." ”

Captain Smith is also depressed, he has been on the ship since he was a child, he has a lot of sailing experience, since he became the captain, he has been serving on a 10,000-ton passenger ship, there has never been any mistakes, and no one has dared to point fingers at him for many years.

Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, ignoring Kerry's clamor at all, only looked at Captain Smith, and said in a low voice, "I'm just a good intention, this is your last voyage before retirement, if anything goes wrong, it will be a stain on your perfect career, and it will also damage your reputation." ”

Captain Smith had already stood up, hearing his words, his expression changed slightly, and the anger in his eyes gradually turned into doubt, at first, the person in front of him was a polite young man, and in a blink of an eye, he became domineering, although the tone was still very peaceful, but that kind of calm and calm demeanor was obviously not disguised, and for a while, he was a little unsure of Liu Minghao's origin.

At this moment, Yexue walked up to Captain Smith and said in a low voice, "Mr. Captain, I think you'd better take his advice, and I'm doing it for your own good, otherwise it will only affect you adversely." ”

Kerry also leaned over, just in time to hear Yexue's last words, and looked at Yexue disapprovingly, "Miss Anice, you ......"

Captain Smith's snow-white eyebrows furrowed tightly, raised his hand to stop his next words, and before he could speak, Liu Minghao nodded slightly to Andrew, who was sitting at the table, "Regarding the voyage, I suggest that you may as well listen to Mr. Andrew's opinion, as for Mr. Ismay, with all due respect, he will only consider his personal interests and is not trustworthy." ”

After speaking, Liu Minghao did not give Kerry a chance to continue to provoke, bowed slightly, said a word of unaccompaniment, and took Yexue to the rest area set in the corner of the chess and card room.

Kerry looked at the back of the two of them leaving hand in hand with a hint of jealousy, seemed to feel a little bored, said hello hastily, and turned to leave the chess and card room.

At the table, only Captain Smith, who looked uncertain, and Andrew, who had been sitting quietly on the wall, were left.

"What do you think about the speed?" Captain Smith picked up a cigar from the table beside him, slashed it with a knife at random, held it in his mouth, pondered for a moment, and raised his head slightly at Andrew.

"The Titanic could sail at full speed, there was no problem with that." Without hesitation, Andrew said, "I'm 100 percent confident in my design. ”

"The engine is brand new, and it still needs to run and run in to run more smoothly." Captain Smith groaned slightly, he was now worried about Liu Minghao's origin, when he accepted this appointment, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, this is not only whether the Titanic can successfully complete this world-renowned maiden voyage, just like Liu Minghao said, but also related to his reputation and entire career, it is not a normal thing.

Andrew seemed to have thought of something, turned his head to look at Liu Minghao and Ye Xue who were standing in the corner, and frowned slightly, "I think, will they be members of the committee." ”

Captain Smith paused slightly, "You mean ......"

"I've only heard some rumors." Andrew looked around, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "Recently, several large passenger ships have had accidents one after another, causing a lot of losses, it is said that the cabinet has sent a lot of people to secretly supervise, you know, in the previous Age of Discovery, Her Majesty issued a lot of privateer licenses, in order to effectively control and manage these lawless guys, such a committee was established, and many secret agents were sent around, they are everywhere, and there are their shadows on every ship, usually sailors or crews, The identity of the passenger is used as a cover, and recently because the transportation management committee is about to be reorganized, there may be big moves, and it cannot be ruled out that this person is such an identity, and it is indeed necessary to be careful at this time. ”

Captain Smith nodded slightly, in fact, he had heard a little about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it, although the transportation management committee was actually only used to restrict those special purpose ships, and it did not have much authority over passenger ships, but if it was targeted by these people, it would also bring a lot of trouble.
