Th exact choice of words depends on the context, but 'predecessor' should be quite a generic way of saying.

And I doubt this is about law. This seems to be related to the previous four terms: 江湖, 角頭, 感訓 and 場子界.
Anyway, as already mentioned, the context (such as how these words are being used in the letter/conversation) is lacking here.
