Chapter Three Hundred Three: Li Qingshan's Weakness
Chen Nuo had never been particularly fond of Li Qingshan.
The old man was cunning and greedy, and that was putting it mildly. His shady background wasn't the primary reason. Brother Lei's background wasn't clean either, but that didn't stop Brother Lei from becoming one of Chen Nuo's most trusted people.
Li Qingshan actually possessed far greater influence and wealth than Brother Lei. Chen Nuo was well aware that bringing Li Qingshan into his inner circle would mean many tasks could be handled more smoothly by Hall Master Li than by Brother Lei. Despite this, Chen Nuo still hadn't invited him.
The main reason was quite simple: Hall Master Li was involved in the flesh trade.
This point alone was enough for Chen Nuo to hold the old man in low regard.
Even the underworld has its hierarchy of disdain.
