Liu Dong: "The Olympic?"

He had heard of the Olympic; it was a cruise ship built by the White Star Line and was considered a sister ship to the Titanic.

However, six months ago, HMS Olympic collided with a Royal Navy cruiser at sea, and its hull was severely damaged.

White Star Line filed a claim with the insurance company, but the insurance company refused to pay, arguing that the vehicle involved in the accident belonged to the Olympic.

Repairing the Olympic required a huge amount of money, which plunged the White Star Line into a financial crisis.

White Star Line, not wanting to spend a lot of money repairing the Olympic and wanting to escape the economic crisis, devised a scheme to defraud the insurance company.

If the Titanic had sunk at sea, the insurance company would have had to pay them money.

Of course, they wouldn't destroy the perfectly good, brand-new Titanic—the one that could make the company money—to defraud insurance companies.

Since the Olympic and Titanic were very similar, the White Star Line disguised the Olympic as the Titanic to carry out their plan.

What about all the passengers on board?
Of course, we arranged for another cruise ship to pick us up.

The White Star Line arranged for the California to dock in an area where icebergs are found, so that it could appear to rescue the Titanic when it hits the iceberg.

Liu Tong recalled a scene from a movie: the cruise ship that came to rescue people had no passengers other than the crew, which was why it was able to bring all the passengers who escaped from the Titanic onto the cruise ship, and there were so many blankets...

I used to think it was a plot hole in the movie, but it turns out it wasn't. Was it part of a conspiracy?

The people who are now forever asleep in the depths of the sea because of this accident are truly pitiful!
It's all the fault of those heartless capitalists.

Liu Tong knew that even if the captain and crew didn't hit the iceberg, the Titanic would not be able to reach its destination.

The Olympic was severely damaged and was completely unable to complete its transatlantic journey.

Even if it hadn't hit the iceberg, it would eventually have remained submerged at sea.

If the top executives of the White Star Company were on the ship, Liu Dong would definitely throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.

Looking at the captain on the bed, Liu Dong suppressed the urge to throw him overboard.

This captain is a pathetic wretch abandoned by his superiors.

Although the higher-ups promised his family a large sum of money, the captain paid with his own life!

But Liu Tong still thought he was despicable. He was trying to kill himself and could get a good reward, but what about the other crew members?

They don't want to die.

And a whole host of passengers!
Liu Dong finally pressed a pressure point on the captain.

After that, the captain would experience half an hour of pain all over his body every day, a pain that would stay with him for the rest of his life.

Liu Tong returned to her cabin, closed her eyes, and thought about what to do next.

The White Star Line's conspiracy must be exposed, and the government must quickly dispatch other cruise ships to rescue the people.

This necessitates sending the information via telegram.

At night, the telegraph room was empty, and all the equipment was turned off.

If it is started, it will make a lot of noise and alert the people on the ship.

Who knows if any of the crew members are the captain's accomplices?

We can only sneak into the telegraph room during the day.

or……

We can make use of our fellow townsman/classmate.

The next day, Liu Tong pretended to be enjoying the breeze on the deck and saw Carl and Vivien Leigh walking by, chatting and laughing.

Liu Tong kept an eye on the two of them, and when Carl was called away by Rose's mother, Liu Tong walked towards Vivien Leigh.

When Vivien Leigh saw Liu Dong, she thought to herself that the boy was really good-looking, but a little too young. Her gaze was drawn to the boy's eyes and she couldn't look away.

Liu Tong brushed past Vivien Leigh, who blinked her eyes, unaware that she had ever been hypnotized.

After admiring the handsome young man's looks, Vivien Leigh suddenly had a piece of information in her mind: a Baidu Encyclopedia entry she had read before her time travel.

Vivien Leigh's eyes widened in surprise!
The Olympic?
Titanic?
White Star Company committing insurance fraud?!
No way? Could it really be like what the so-called experts say, that the sinking of the Titanic was a conspiracy? If so, even if she got Carl to stop the captain from slowing down, she couldn't have prevented the cruise ship from sinking!

What should we do? What should we do?
At that moment, the boy's voice reached Vivien Leigh's ears.

Boy: "Does the cruise ship have telegraph service? Can I pay a crew member to contact my grandparents and have them send someone to the port to pick up my family?"

Vivien Leigh thought to herself, "Forget it, the cruise ship won't make it safely to the port."

Suddenly, a thought struck her.

Yes, they can send a telegram to the port and other cruise ships for help, asking the port to send a ship to pick them up!

Vivien Leigh immediately went to find Carl.

Her identity in this life is not low; although she is not a British noblewoman, she is the daughter of a wealthy man in America.

However, in such times, a woman's words carried less weight than a man's.

Moreover, Vivien Leigh had suspicions about the captain and the crew.

Wouldn't they know that this ship isn't the Titanic?

Liu Tong strolled behind Vivien Leigh at a distance so that she wouldn't notice him, but he could still hear Vivien Leigh's conversations with others.

Vivien Leigh found Carl, pulled him aside, and looked both mysterious and terrified.

"Karl, I've heard some very bad news."

Carl reached out and placed his hand on Vivien Leigh's shoulder to reassure her, "I'm here, everything's alright. Tell me, what bad news have you heard?"

Vivien Leigh: "Have you heard of the Olympic?"

Carl nodded: "I've heard of it. It was the sister ship of the Titanic, but it was destroyed six months ago."

Vivien Leigh gasped.

There really is an Olympic!

What those experts said is true!

Vivien Leigh said in a low, rapid voice, "I've heard that the ship we're on now isn't the Titanic, it's the Olympic. The White Star Line is trying to use this ship to commit insurance fraud."

Karl: "..."

Carl instantly understood what Vivien Leigh meant.

As a capitalist, he could understand the actions of the White Star Company's top management.

But the premise is that such a scheme should not be directed at him.

This is on the high seas; one wrong move and he could lose his life.

Even if he survives, many of the treasures he brought on board will be lost at sea.

Carl was so angry that he wanted to confront the captain.

Vivien Leigh grabbed Karl: "What are you going to do?"

Carl roared, "I have a gun in my room. I'm going to take care of the captain."

Vivien Leigh: "Take care of the captain, the second mate, and the other crew members. What if they're all in cahoots? You're no match for them all by yourself."

Karl: "..."

Carl took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and began to consider what to do.

Vivien Leigh told Carl about her idea.

Carl nodded. "Very good, let's do it that way. I'll take you to the telegraph room."

Vivien Leigh: "Can you send telegrams?"

Karl replied smugly, "Of course." (End of Chapter)
