Zhao Chi sighed. "Alright... But when did you guys do this? From the sound of it, you were involved in this whole skinning Tang Ruan business too?"
Zhuang Ya lowered her head and raised her hand, not daring to look at Zhao Chi. "I was involved too."
'These women...'
Gu Qing answered, "Yes, I was involved. Tang Ruan came to me for help just now. I didn't agree at first either, but when she laid out her reasons, I really had no grounds to object. I couldn't bring myself to do it, though, so I took the liberty of finding Zhuang Ya..."
Zhuang Ya glanced at Zhao Chi. "I was actually very hesitant... but if I didn't help, Tang Ruan would have done it herself. She ended up making a crooked mess of it, and... well... so I helped her..."
'Unbelievable...'
'They're a whole gang.'
Zhao Chi pressed a hand to his forehead. "So, you peeled two skins?"
Tang Ruan smiled and took out another piece of white skin, this one peeled messily.
Zhao Chi's worldview was taking a beating.
