Chapter 694: What Do You Want to Do_1
"I wondered who was so brazen, trying to shut down Miss Luo’s store—it turns out to be the Cao Family’s Old Madame Liu."
Having been in the underworld for many years, He Chen naturally recognized this old lady from the Cao Family.
Speaking of which, the reason why Cao Yunwei was able to thrive in Jiangling City was actually with the behind-the-scenes advice and strategies from this old lady.
Old Madame Liu was a local from Jiangling City with noteworthy connections. Although not as powerful as the Four Great Families, she used her family’s influence and the support of the Tao Family to forcefully establish the Cao Family as a second-rate noble house.
However, the old lady was getting on in years, and her health wasn’t great. She had retired from the front lines in recent years and no longer managed worldly affairs.
If not for the deaths of Cao Yunwei and Cao Yunkang, Old Madame Liu would not have made a comeback.
When He Chen appeared, a sharp light sparked in Old Madame Liu’s eyes.
Since the death of her son Cao Yunwei, the Cao Family had fallen apart, and their once-held territory and influence were quickly divided up by the underworld bosses.
Above all, the Jucail Commercial Association, led by He Chen, profited the most—nearly seventy percent of the Cao Family’s territories and strength had been monopolized by Jucail.
Plus, with the backing of the Wen Family and Mo Han after eliminating several local gangs, Jucail Commercial Association had become the strongest underground force in Jiangling City, with He Chen as the undisputed underworld boss.
Although Old Madame Liu had previously stayed out of worldly affairs, following the deaths of her two sons, she consolidated the remaining Cao Family forces. Besides investigating the cause of her sons’ deaths, she was also holding a grudge against He Chen and Jucail Commercial Association.
