The crowd scattered in fear.
The shopkeeper stood dumbfounded and helpless.
The shopkeeper's wife had already fainted in fright.
Seeing Chen Tang leap from the rooftop, the shopkeeper hurried forward, kneeling on the ground with a thud, and said, "Lord Chen, this, this has nothing to do with me. I don't know that person, what is this all about..."
The shopkeeper's face was pale, somewhat incoherent.
This couple had run the store in Wu'an County for a long time and didn't know Chen Tang before. It was impossible for them to have plotted against him years in advance.
Chen Tang knew this matter had nothing to do with the shop owner, so after asking about the limping attendant, he let them go.
He then asked the shopkeeper to prepare another serving of soybean milk and headed home.
As he returned home, he still had lingering fear from the recent incident.
