After bandaging Sophie's wound, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, sat down beside her, and began to rest against the wall.
I just ran all the way and my adrenaline was soaring.
Now that he was temporarily safe, he finally began to feel the pain in his body, and the immense pain made him grimace.
Especially because I had a bump on my head, and I felt a little dizzy.
However, the car rushed down from such a great height, and the two of them were still here intact, which was something to be thankful for.
Glancing to the side, he saw Sophie huddled up, her hands on her knees, wrapped in her coat, her thin body looking somewhat pitiful.
Chen Fan felt a little guilty.
"that……"
"sorry."
As a result, the two of them opened their mouths almost at the same time.
Chen Fan was slightly stunned.
Sophie opened her mouth again.
"Chen, I'm sorry. Are these people targeting me?"
Chen Fan: “…”
What's going on?
Shouldn’t these people’s target be me?
Chen Fan guessed that some of these people were sent by the Curtain Roller.
But before she could open the door, Sophie opened it first.
Sophie lowered her head, looking somewhat depressed and helpless.
"These people were sent by my brother."
"Your brother?"
Chen Fan stared, somewhat unable to understand.
Sophie nodded slowly.
"No. I'm pretty sure they were sent by my brother."
Chen Fan suddenly remembered.
If these people were sent by the Curtain Roller, then their target should be me, and the killer's first shot should have been aimed at me.
But think about it, the other party's shot was clearly aimed at Sophie, otherwise it wouldn't be so deviated.
It's just that I was in a hurry to save people at that time and didn't think about this at all.
Chen Fan was a little confused.
"Is he your brother?"
"right."
"Why?"
Sophie was like a wounded kitten, curled up, looking helpless and pitiful.
"Why? Of course it's because of family matters."
Sophie didn't say it explicitly, but Chen Fan seemed to understand something.
Although I don't know Sophie's true background, she should be from the same family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so young and manage such a winery by himself.
The more such a family is, the more intense the internal struggle will be.
This can be seen from the Bai family.
Chen Fan sighed, not knowing what to say.
Sophie lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry. I got you into trouble."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm involved, as long as both of us are fine."
Sophie stared at the surface, tears in her beautiful eyes.
"I...I don't want this."
"When I was little, my brother and I had a very good relationship. He gave me everything and always spoiled me. I would always run around after him."
"But after I became a parent, our relationship seemed to become more and more like that of strangers."
"Later, after I got involved in family affairs, it felt like there was no longer any kinship between my brother and me."
"He even started to see me as an enemy."
"I didn't want to compete with my brother, so I took the initiative to leave the family and come to Italy alone to manage this winery."
"Even so, why doesn't he let me go?"
"I don't understand. We were such close when we were kids..."
Chen Fan sighed, not knowing how to comfort her.
This woman seems too simple.
As long as you share the same bloodline with him, even if you hide far away, you will still be a thorn in his side.
"Don't be too sad. Actually...it's me who got you into trouble."
Chen Fan took the initiative to change the subject.
"If I hadn't asked you for help, you wouldn't have come to Sicily with me today. If you hadn't come here, nothing would have happened."
Sophie shook her head. "Actually, it has nothing to do with you."
Chen Fan didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so he whispered, "Let's hide here for a while."
"If there aren't many assassins this time, my people should be here soon."
Sophie glanced at Chen Fan and nodded slightly.
At this moment, the man beside her gave her the only sense of security.
The two hid in the culvert for about an hour.
There was still no movement outside.
No gunshots were heard either.
Chen Fan guessed that the matter should be over.
"Or... I'll go take a look."
Sophie suddenly became nervous and raised her head.
Chen Fan explained: "I think the people outside probably haven't found us. I'll go check it out first. If it's safe, I'll come back to find you."
There was a hint of panic in Sophie's eyes, and she subconsciously reached out and gently pulled Chen Fan's arm.
"Chen...you, you must not leave me alone. I...I will be scared."
Chen Fan comforted him, "Don't worry. I'm just going to check. As long as it's safe, I'll come back to you right away."
Sophie shook her head desperately and grabbed Chen Fan's arms with both hands and refused to let go.
"Then I want to go with you."
"I...I absolutely don't want to stay here alone."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Will it be dangerous for you to come with me?"
Sophie still shook her head.
"I'd rather face danger with you than stay here alone."
Chen Fan was helpless, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded.
"Okay. Let's go together."
Chen Fan stood up and stretched his aching body, then bent down and squatted.
Sophie felt a little embarrassed.
"I...I left on my own."
"Come up."
Chen Fan's tone left no room for doubt.
Sophie hesitated for a moment, then carefully lay on Chen Fan's back.
After all, she had experienced this before, so this time she didn't blush as much as before.
Chen Fan gently carried Sophie on his back and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"You're too light. Even lighter than my wife."
"Do you consider slimness to be beautiful here in Europe and America?"
Sophie lay on Chen Fan's back, her arms around his neck, without saying a word.
Under the cover of night, Chen Fan walked cautiously along the gravel-covered coastline, carrying Sophie on his back.
Looking up at the slope in front of him, Chen Fan sighed in embarrassment.
It might be a bit difficult to climb up with someone on your back.
Walk along the coast, hoping to find a place with a gentler slope to go ashore.
After walking for about ten minutes, we finally saw light ahead.
Chen Fan suddenly became alert.
"If things go wrong later, I tell you to run and you just run, ignoring me."
Sophie, however, hugged Chen Fan's neck.
"Chen, I want to stay with you."
"Even if I die, I want to die with you..."
"Don't say that. I haven't lived enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from a distance.
"boss?"
The vigilance on Chen Fan's face relaxed instantly, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He already recognized Zhang Shun's voice.
"I'm here."
