Su Yutang sighed.

After losing his two masters in succession, this loyal old servant seemed to have lost ten years of his energy and spirit in an instant.

However, just as Rawlsson had just pulled himself together and was about to go take care of the funeral, one of his men rushed in with a panicked look on his face. Without even having time to salute, he hurriedly reported, "Butler Rawlsson, something bad has happened."

Rawson's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a very ominous premonition. He forced himself to ask, "What happened again?"

The man's face turned pale, his voice trembling, "The castle... the castle's underground vault and several of the most important secret safes... were opened, and everything inside... is gone, taken away!"

"what?"

Rawson was struck by lightning, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, his body shook violently, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Roarson!" Dabao, who was standing next to him, quickly reached out to support his shaky body and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Rosen managed to stand firmly, but his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. His lips trembled, his eyes were unfocused, and he muttered unconsciously, "It's over... It's all over now..."

Dabao frowned and asked, "What's over? Luo Ersen, explain clearly."

As if awakened, Rosen suddenly looked at Dabao, then hurriedly turned to Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou, who also had solemn expressions, and spoke desperately:

"Miss, Master, someone... someone took advantage of the chaos and stole the castle's most important vault and safe. Inside... inside are almost all of the Bron family's core confidential documents, including land deeds, share certificates, and a personal letter from Mr. Bron, stating that he intends to leave all his inheritance and the position of heir to the four young masters."

Everyone was surprised. They were not surprised that Bron was going to leave his inheritance and the position of heir to the four little treasures, but they were surprised at who had the guts to take away the entire castle's treasury and property?

And who has the ability to steal these things?

Su Yutang asked, "Roarsen, don't panic. Logically, something this important would be kept safe. The safe should have a password. How could it have been stolen?"

Rosen was sweating profusely as he quickly explained, "It's indeed properly kept. The underground vault requires a special key to open, and the most important safes have separate passwords. Only Mr. Bloom and I know the keys and passwords. Oh, and the key..."

He seemed to suddenly remember something, staggered to Bron's bed, fumbled in an extremely hidden secret box, and then his face became even uglier.

"The key... the key that was originally placed here is gone."

"Mr. Bron and I are the only ones who know this place. Who would steal the key?"

Su Yutang stepped forward, frowning. "The key can be stolen, but what about the combination to the safe? Have you told anyone else the combination?"

Rawson shook his head vigorously, his tone firm. "No, how could I possibly tell an outsider about something so crucial to our family's lifeline? Not even the old lady knew about it. It's usually the master who orders it, and I personally handle it, so I know the password. I'm loyal to the master, and there's no way I'd reveal it."

Su Yutang also felt that the matter was extremely strange: "That's really strange..."

Suddenly, Rawson's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice, "Wait, old slave... I remember now. The most recent time, before Master fainted, during the deep hypnosis session, I had something else to do, so I wasn't by Master's side as usual. Only the hypnotist and Master were in the room!"

He wondered, "Could it be that the hypnotist took advantage of the master's blurred consciousness under hypnosis and asked for the key's hiding place and the combination to the safe?"

But as soon as he said this guess, he denied it himself: "But, how is this possible? The hypnotist is one of the master's own people who has been employed for many years. He is absolutely trustworthy. How could he..."

As unbelievable as it is, this seems to be the only plausible explanation at this point.

Rosen immediately called over a trusted subordinate and ordered him quickly, "Quick, go find out where the hypnotist is and bring him to me immediately!"

"Yes!" The subordinate was about to take the order and leave.

Suddenly, Bo Jingzhou stepped forward and said calmly, "Roelson, there's no need to look for that hypnotist. I've guessed someone. She's probably the one who poisoned the person and absconded with the money."

Rawson raised his head sharply and asked anxiously, "Who?"

Bo Jingzhou opened his thin lips and uttered a name: "Winnie."

"Miss Winnie?"

There was a sudden hint of surprise in Lawson's eyes, as if he had just slowly come to his senses, and his face was full of disbelief.

"How...how is this possible? You mean...that timid and insignificant maid, Winnie?"

Rawson knew Winnie's background very well.

Many years ago, a scheming woman with some means climbed into Mr. Bloom's bed and then disappeared.

A year later, the woman came to the house with a baby girl, trying to gain status by having a child.

Mr. Bloom was furious at the time and felt that this was a great humiliation, so he dealt with the woman in a fit of rage.

But looking at the crying baby girl, and thinking that the Bron family was indeed short of offspring at that time, he finally softened his heart and spared the baby girl's life.

But over the years, Mr. Bloom has never looked at this "tainted" daughter in the eye. He is extremely cold towards her, even disgusted with her.

She was only allowed to do the lowest job as a maid in the castle and was never treated like a lady.

But Winnie seemed to be very sensible. She did not fight or compete. In the face of Lawrence and Liz's overt and covert bullying and provocation, she always acted submissive, acting timid and peaceful.

It was precisely her seemingly cowardly and harmless behavior that made Bron slowly relax his vigilance. He felt that she could not cause any trouble, so he simply kept her, giving her a meal and letting her fend for herself.

Rawson had also seen Winnie many times. His impression of her was that she was a thin girl who always kept her head down, spoke in a soft voice, and was afraid of stepping on ants when walking. She also looked timid and cautious.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like someone who would have the courage to do such a shocking thing as poisoning and absconding with the money!

Bo Jingzhou interrupted his thoughts: "Why don't you send someone to check if she is still in the castle? If she is gone, then she is very suspicious."

Luo Ersen was awakened by Bo Jingzhou and immediately ordered his men: "Quick, go find the maid Winnie and see where she is!"

"Yes!" The subordinates took the order and acted quickly.
