For the next several days, talk of the He Family was incessant.
It was because the "businesses" they were running—both those known and those in the shadows—were so utterly heinous that, by comparison, the affair between the family patriarch and He Yunzhen seemed trivial.
The He Family had initially believed that with their backing from Hong Kong and the Myanmar North region, any move the authorities made against them would be all bark and no bite. They thought they just had to weather the storm and things would return to normal.
They never expected that, like a row of toppling dominoes, all their well-hidden weak points would be exposed in a concentrated burst, uprooting them with an unstoppable force.
As the cleanup began, the He Family finally realized they had been targets for a very long time. An uninterrupted string of successes had numbed their senses, making them believe they had truly become local tyrants who could blot out the sky with one hand.
