Gathering Good Karma

However, since Xie Qiao had already said that, Xie Pinggang did not want to embarrass her. She was a lady, after all.

They were buried the same way as well, and the culprit hasn't been found until now."

Xie Qiao frowned when she heard that.

"Eleven, I think," Xie Pinggang thought about it, while his expression changed slightly. "Don't ask where the nails were mounted. I can't tell you that."

Some of the spots were rather obscene. A lady should not hear about that.
