Lin Shuangshuang wasn't angry at the suspicious look from the man. But the crowd around her was quite furious because, strictly speaking, Zhao Yan was still their adversary. Although Zhao Yan was ultimately abandoned by his own people, not taking out their anger on Zhao Yan and even bringing him along was already quite magnanimous of them.
Fortunately, the man's mind short-circuited only momentarily from his agitation, and after his words slipped out, he quickly realized that Zhao Yan shouldn't have been harmed by these people.
The reason is simple. In these times, carrying an invalid who just eats for free is not an easy task. If they had wanted to harm Zhao Yan out of deep hatred, they would certainly have killed him. Why would they go to the trouble of crippling him and then painstakingly bringing him along as a burden?
