"Your popsicles killed someone, what are you going to do about it?!"
A middle-aged woman rushed forward with an unfriendly expression, slamming her hands heavily on Gan's stall as if to demand an explanation.
Although Gan Mingli was also taken aback by the scene, he knew he couldn't show weakness in front of so many people, so he calmly stepped forward:
"Sister, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? Our popsicles, how could they be..."
"You still want to deny it!" Before he could finish speaking, the woman rudely interrupted him, pointing to the "corpse" on the ground and crying out to the people around her:
