Chapter 1956 Candles

"You think I'm easy to bully because I'm young, right?" Sophie asked, a hint of coldness flashing across the corner of her mouth.

"Miss, I don't dare to have such thoughts, but Wang Gensheng is really a dangerous person. The young master has specially warned him. I hope you can understand."

This servant is Su Can's loyal servant, and he does not dare to have any disobedience to Su Can's words.

Sophie slapped him across the face: "Go away, don't hang around in front of me. After I come in, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

When the servants were beaten, Sophie usually lost her temper, but rarely hit anyone. This was probably the first time in history.

Sophie took the key from the servant, opened the door and went in.

The servant stood outside the door, dumbfounded.

Inside the house, Wang Gensheng was actually sitting somewhere in the house, making tea leisurely. When he saw Sophie, Wang Gensheng laughed:

"Sophie, I was thinking that drinking tea alone would be pointless. You came just in time and can drink tea with me."

"Brother Gensheng, why are you so arrogant? All the evidence is against you now. More than 90% of the people in the Su family suspect you are the murderer. Do you still have the heart to drink tea?"

Sophie couldn't laugh or cry. Wang Gensheng's calmness even gave Sophie goosebumps on her body.

"Sophie, even if everyone thinks that I am the murderer, as long as you believe in me, I won't care. Come on, drink tea and chat."

Wang Gensheng waved to Sophie, still looking calm.

Sophie sat down opposite Wang Gensheng, picked up the small tea cup that Wang Gensheng handed over, put it in front of her nose and sniffed: "Not bad, good Pu'er tea."

The tea is fragrant and the atmosphere is very warm.

If it weren't for the death of the Six Gentlemen, Sophie would definitely be in high spirits and enthusiastically discuss the future of the Su family with Wang Gensheng.

The two people looked at each other, as if they understood each other tacitly.

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

Wang Gensheng became alert, jumped out of his seat, and took Sophie into his arms.

Such an action is completely instinctive.

Sophie gently pushed Wang Gensheng and said softly: "Brother Gensheng, there will always be a power outage these days. I also plan to build a power plant in the Su family castle."

"Are there any candles?" Wang Gensheng asked.

"Yes, the candles from the Su Family Castle are always ready." Sophie said quietly.

Just when Shi Shi was about to stand up and go out to hold the candle, there was a gentle knock on the door: "Miss, the castle has another power outage. I've sent a candle."

Sophie opened the door and took the candle.

The Su family's candles are homemade and have a very beautiful shape. When lit, they look like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying at any time.

Candles were lit around the room, and two were lit on the tea table.

If it weren't for the power outage, we would have even suspected it was a romantic candlelight evening tea.

The fragrance of tea lingers and the candlelight dances.

About an hour later, the lights in the room came on again, and a servant came to report that it was improper operation by the castle's electrician, which caused a short circuit in the wires.

Under the light, Sophie looked depressed: "Brother Gensheng, why do I feel that I have no strength at all, and I feel very flustered."

"Sophie, there is a ghost in the Su family castle." Wang Gensheng said calmly, looking depressed.

"The mole?" Sophie blinked, confused.

"We are all poisoned, but since you don't have martial arts, your reaction will be stronger." Wang Gensheng lowered his voice, fearing that people outside would hear it.

"Brother Gensheng, you made the tea, would you poison it?" Sophie asked.

Wang Gensheng pointed at the candles and sighed: "I blame my negligence. Those candles are the source of the poison. It is because the poison gas is released after the candles are lit."

"Brother Gensheng, will you and I die?" Sophie asked with a sigh as she leaned back on her chair weakly.

"This kind of poison can't kill people, but it can make people feel weak and weak all over. I think the real murderer just wanted to poison me and then take the opportunity to kill me.

Who would have known that you were implicated by me and indirectly poisoned." Wang Gensheng gave a bitter smile. He was extremely wary of tea and water, but ignored the candles.

"Brother Gensheng, I'm going to ask my servant where he got the candles from. I'm looking for the source." Sophie wanted to stand up, but she had no strength.

"Sophie, it's useless. If you go and question this servant now, you might make him die without a burial place." Wang Gensheng frowned and said helplessly.

"Brother Gensheng, will something happen to you?" Sophie asked.

"Sophie, you can only force yourself to stay calm now, otherwise if someone knows that I have been poisoned, they will be alert." Wang Gensheng reminded softly.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, and Sophie asked helplessly: "Who is it?"

"Miss, the young master knows that you have arrived at Mr. Wang's house. Let us call you to go back and rest." The person outside the door who agreed was Su Can's confidant.

"You go back and tell the young master that I won't go back tonight." Sophie replied calmly.

The door was pushed open with a squeak, and standing at the door were Su Can and several thugs from the Su family.

Su Can's face was ashen: "Sophie, you are a girl staying in a man's house, aren't you afraid that the Su family will gossip?"

"Brother, Wang Gensheng and I are engaged. If I stay in my fiancé's room, why should I be afraid of anyone gossiping?" Sophie argued.

"Come, Miss, please go back to your house. I'll drink tea with Mr. Wang." Su Can ignored Sophie and gave orders to his servants.

Sophie was completely held up by the servants, and her legs had no strength at all.

Su Can didn't even blink, and sat directly on the seat where Sophie had been sitting before: "Send the lady back to the room and watch her carefully."

Sophie was taken away, and only Su Can and Wang Gensheng were left in the house, plus a few thugs from the Su family, or Su Can's bodyguards.

"Su Can, you are too impatient." Wang Gensheng said slowly while drinking tea.

"Wang Gensheng, how did you see this?" Su Can asked with a sneer while drinking tea.

"Su Can, I underestimated you. It's really amazing that you were able to detoxify yourself." Wang Gensheng was still chatting and laughing as usual.

"Wang Gensheng, don't you know that the Su family has an antidote that can cure hundreds of poisons? Furthermore, you didn't want to kill the murderer immediately, so that's why you did this.

However, you have no chance." Su Can laughed, so happy.

All the candles in the house were blown out, and the poisonous gas that Wang Gensheng had inhaled before was enough to make Wang Gensheng lose all his martial arts skills and leave him at the mercy of others.

"Su Can, I should have thought that it was you who killed the Six Gentlemen, but I'm not 100% sure." Wang Gensheng frowned, looking very decadent.
