Xing Jifu was already 54 years old this year. Despite his regular exercise, healthy diet, and assistance from specialized caregivers, he could still feel the relentless passing of time.
As a result, he'd been progressively relinquishing control of the groups' businesses over the past few years, hoping to hand over most of the legitimate industries to his eldest son, Xing Yanjun. However, some matters involved the Xing family across multiple generations and couldn't be severed at will. The underworld wouldn't allow anyone to withdraw freely. Others may come for your life if you attempt to retreat. Hence, he ordered some confidants to maintain the status quo or even to expand cautiously. After all, only the powerful have a say, and they could protect the legitimate industries.
He had a plan in his mind; if he couldn't get rid of it, he'd entirely separate it. This way, it would maintain the purity of Xing Family's descendants while providing clandestine protection.
