Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 580 - 3 So What If You’re Rich

Who in the family could understand the feeling of being woken up in the middle of the night to eat melons, only to realize halfway through that their home was gone?

Li Mumu looked at the shattered ceiling above the Church and remained silent.

Could this be what they call karma?

I fought with Shen Qingxi, and I ended up taking out the entire first floor of her family’s warehouse.

She ran over to the New Church of Eternal Life headquarters and demolished our secret base...

Then, turning to look at the girl shivering in the corner, there was no way to associate her with the three-to-four-meter-tall mecha robot from just a moment ago.

You’re a daughter of a wealthy family, why choose to cultivate the Heretical Path of the Uncivilized People?

Your family was attacked by Angel Envoys too, and now you need an underage girl to pilot a giant robot to beat up aliens?

The girl in front of me claims to be Shen Qingxi, but she is definitely not the Shen Qingxi I’ve met before, and she clearly has no recollection of the Red Shroud alias either.

To be precise, she is the young lady who met with misfortune on her way home in early September.

And on this night in September, she returned to the living world in a strange way.

According to Old Man Zhang, when the girl was on the phone, she claimed she was rescued by a white-bearded old man... Bullshit, has she been hallucinating after reading too many web novels?

Speaking of web novels, these two Shen Qingxis do have a vibe of the very popular rich real-daughter, fake-daughter plots from female-oriented fiction. Stupid overbearing CEO parents always manage to lose their own flesh and blood for ridiculous reasons and then somehow miraculously find them again.

The narrative that struck Li Mumu the most in a rich-daughter story was about a midwife who replaced the lady’s child with her own right after birth... Such a painfully thought-out plot left a deep scar on her young mind.

"It has come to this... Let’s relocate for now!"

I intended to bring up the compensation issue, but having stolen so much from the Shen Family, and after killing Shen Qingxi herself, turning her head into a skull specimen... I’ve done such excessive things, I really don’t have the face to speak up now.

Right now, fixing the house is not the most important thing... Damage to this degree isn’t something that can be miraculously fixed overnight by the old man with a bucket of plaster, the key issue is that Shen Zhinan led a group of people firing wildly, which surely alerted the neighbors.

With public-spirited citizens reporting, the police might come knocking tomorrow morning.

And the New Church of Eternal Life isn’t exactly an organization we can openly acknowledge.

"Where do we move to in the middle of the night!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Cardinal Max, roused from sleep, couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

The Longevity Sect had preserved this base precisely because he had embezzled too much from the accounts. Afraid of getting caught, he secretly arranged this escape route for himself, unknown to the others in the church.

That’s how it escaped the purge by the Special Service Bureau.

Now, in the New Church of Eternal Life, with the two Angel Envoys usually lying low and ignoring worldly affairs, the entire church was propped up by him alone. If he’s both making the money and keeping the accounts, what need is there for embezzlement?

Not to mention arranging an escape route, he was even reluctant to spend an extra cent on renovating the current headquarters.

It was sufficient to fool the followers.

Now you’re asking me to find another place? Where am I supposed to find one?

Max thought it over seriously for a moment and then suggested quietly, "How about Old Zhang and I take Miss Shen to a motel to muddle through the night?"

After all, you two are not staying here to sleep, why go to all this trouble?

As for the possessions in the headquarters... It’s just that pile of unsold Joss Paper that’s somewhat valuable, there’s nothing else really substantial.

"We need to find a secure place."

Xia Yubing spoke up, "We don’t know how many eyes are watching the Shen Family now. Now that Shen Qingxi has suddenly come back from the dead and run to our place, this is trouble. Whether she is alive or dead, stays or leaves, once someone comes looking for her, we’ll have a hard time explaining."

The adult world is just that complex.

What was originally a simple matter, you try to simplify it, and someone else wants to complicate it.

A simple debt owed, and before long, both your kidneys and your daughter have become someone else’s.

Sell a melon simply, and the buyer comes over, argues with you for a bit, and then stabs you with a knife.

Honest people always feel the world is unfair, essentially because they oversimplify the problems.

Shen Qingxi came back from the dead, why didn’t she go anywhere else but insisted on running to your Longevity Sect headquarters?

If she wasn’t killed by you, why did you save her?

Why did you let her go? Why didn’t you let her go? What did you get from her? And what did she take from you?

Did you steal the Imperial Jade Seal?

Did you cause the time disturbance?

...

Those who wrong you always know better just how wronged you’ve been.

The Shen Family got involved with the Imperial Jade Seal, so was it with the Longevity Sect getting involved with Shen Qingxi.

One Shen Qingxi was enough to give anyone a headache, let alone Shen Zhinan and his people, should you kill them or let them go?

The best solution, of course, was not to prove yourself but to move to a place that is safe and hidden. If they can’t find anyone, then all their schemes become a joke.

Staying at a hotel was definitely not viable, with such a big incident today, the police would be conducting searches everywhere tomorrow.

"I’m sorry, I know it’s because of me that you all are dragged into this mess,"

Shen Qingxi, huddled to one side, whispered, "If you really have nowhere to go, you can come to my house..."

Everyone turned to look at her at once.

Xia Yubing frowned and said, "Miss Shen, you probably don’t know about the changes at the Shen estate these past few days; the Shen family’s properties have already been seized."

"I still own a few properties under my name, purchased personally, and nobody knows about them."

"..."

Max’s eyes lit up, Li Mumu’s eyes reddened.

What a so-called rich family! Does that even sound like something a person would say?

Xia Yubing coughed and asked seriously, "Are you sure no one knows about them?"

"I guess not..."

Shen Qingxi hesitated and then said, "I just thought I could go to the seaside for the summer vacation, so I bought a few sets on a whim... I’m not spending recklessly, those properties are good investments, the beaches next door were thrown in for free..."

Even beachfront properties!

Max took a deep breath, turned to Li Mumu and Xia Yubing, and nodded, "I think Miss Shen’s suggestion is good, respected Angel Envoys, we don’t have much choice at this moment. Let’s move there first to lie low, and then we can make further plans!"

Why don’t you look in the mirror and see how shameless you appear now!

Li Mumu and Xia Yubing exchanged glances but didn’t reject the offer.

"Alright, I’ll go hire a car right now."

The Nether Banknotes in the Longevity Sect’s warehouse were not worth the effort to transport, but Max thought Miss Shen was valuable enough for him to personally take care of hiring a comfortable car for her transportation.

That’s a treatment even their own Angel Envoys hadn’t enjoyed,
