Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 854

Chapter 854: It’s A Pity…
Due to the darkness and silence around him, Gou Dan’s heart was beating loudly as it was filled with fear. After running for a while, he was out of breath and his legs were sore. He felt tired, so he threw away his clothes bag and held his money bag closely.

The police officers are much stronger than him and almost catch up to him after a while. When they saw him, one of them fired a warning shot into the air and shouted, “Stop or I will shoot you!”

After hearing the second warning, Gou Dan started to panic. He didn’t want to be shot. He doesn’t want to die yet!

Just then, a bright light suddenly illuminated the road, followed by the sound of a train’s horn.

When the police heard this, they quickly jumped out of the path and stood aside. They thought Gou Dan would also stand aside and wait until the train passed before continuing to run.

Unexpectedly, due to exhaustion and the rush of adrenaline in his blood, he could only hear his own heartbeat. His heart is beating loudly, his ears are ringing, and he feels dizzy.

“Gou Dan, get off the trail!!” the police officer yelled at him with shock.

When Gou Dan heard this, he came to his senses and noticed the light behind him. Hearing the train horn, he looked back and saw that the train was rushing toward him at extremely fast speeds.

He stood motionless out of fear and shock. He knew he had to jump out of the path to survive, but his legs were as heavy as lead and he couldn’t lift them up at all. He could only stand motionless, his legs shaking and his eyes wide with fear.

“No…no…I don’t want to die!!!”

As soon as he shouted these words, the train slammed into him, accompanied by the sound of the wheels colliding with the track when the train braked.

It took almost a minute for the train to come to a complete stop. After the train stopped, Gou Dan’s body was thrown more than 20 meters away due to the force. His head hit the rails and blood seeped from the back of his head.

As he lay on the ground, he thought of his brother. When he pushed Chen Jianguo on the day he left, the back of his head also hit the Kang bed. That time, he just looked at his blood-stained clothes and sneered. Now, he finally understood how painful it was.

He opened his mouth to say something, but what came out of his mouth was blood. He choked on his own blood and his eyes were bloodshot.

‘Jianguo, I’m sorry…’

When he heard the police’s footsteps getting closer, the pain all over his body intensified. He tried to call for help, but could only choke on mouthfuls of blood. As he looked at the sky, his eyes were filled with regret and unwillingness.

‘You are right… The night sky is full of stars. It’s a pity… I will never have the chance to look at the stars with you again…’

When he took his last breath, his eyes were wide open and full of reluctance to die. The money in the bag was scattered on the floor, stained with his blood, and some was blown away by the wind, fluttering in the air.

The police officers shook their heads when they saw this scene. Such a young boy lost his life because of greed.

The police were busy all night, and their news shocked the entire city. At that time, no one knew who they were or what their names were. When people talk about them, they call them ‘criminals’ and curse their crimes.

While the Wei family was shocked, saddened, and relieved by the truth, no one in Xie Village knew what happened in this distant city.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Chen Jianmin got up and was watering the vegetable garden when he suddenly noticed a small figure standing outside the fence.

He put down the bucket and ladle and walked over. When he stood in front of the little figure, he asked, “Jianguo, what are you doing here so early? Did you tell your uncle before coming here?”

Chen Jianguo lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse, “Cousin, I dreamed about my brother.”

When Chen Jianmin heard this, he said nothing more and waited for him to continue. Although he didn’t hate Chen Jianguo, he didn’t like him either. He was weak and timid. When he was bullied by Gou Dan, he just lowered his head and endured the pain.

“Cousin, don’t you think it’s funny? My brother always beats me and bullies me. He never apologizes or is nice to me. This time when I dreamed about him, he actually came to apologize to me and told me that he will go far away and ask me to never forgive him. This way, at least someone will remember him.”

“I should have hated him. But I felt sad when I saw him smiling at me, just like he smiled at me when we were young. He also patted me on the head gently and said he was wrong.”

He raised his hand to his heart and added, “As he said he was leaving, he seemed relieved. When he said he couldn’t watch the stars with me and felt regret about it, I feel pain here.”

Raising his head, Chen Jianguo looked at Chen Jianmin with tears streaming down his face and asked, “Cousin, do you think my brother…is dead? Is he visiting me to say goodbye to me?”

Chen Jianmin was surprised to see his little cousin crying. He didn’t know he would cry because of the dream. He stood there for a moment, then sighed and climbed out of the fence.

Standing in front of his cousin, he opened his arms and hugged his cousin’s small body. He patted his cousin’s back gently and said, “I don’t know. Does it matter to you whether he is dead or alive?”
