Chen became the leader of the Hong Kong Triads at a very young age and, partly due to financial help from his father and also due to running protection rackets, became the richest man in Hong Kong. He kept this piece of information away from his father. His position was nearly ruined when his status as head of the Triad was revealed; fortunately the fact was dismissed as a lie, although Dirk Struan was not entirely convinced of this.
As part of his efforts to protect his father, he arranged for the assassination of Gorth Brock and tried to acquire a cure for May–May's malaria.
Chen planned on placing spies on Struan's ships, and by the time of the novel Gai-Jin, his spies had been placed among the Chinese servants of important European officials in Japan.
