Just prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, [[Mr. Lee]], father of [[Huang Lee]] and top contender to replace the retiring [[Hsin Jaoming]] as Triad leader, is murdered under mysterious circumstances in Kowloon. Huang travels to Liberty City to deliver his father's sword, [[Yu Jian]], to the new head of the Lee family, Uncle Wu "Kenny" Lee, who intends to present it to Hsin in order to gain favor for the position of Triad boss. Unbeknownst to Hsin, the sword is actually worthless, it's tradition having been invented by Mr. Lee after he won it in a card game. As Huang Lee arrives at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], he is ambushed by several mysterious thugs, who steal the sword and leave Huang for dead. | Just prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, [[Mr. Lee]], father of [[Huang Lee]] and top contender to replace the retiring [[Hsin Jaoming]] as Triad leader, is murdered under mysterious circumstances in Kowloon.

Having fallen out of favor with Hsin for the loss of the sword, Kenny enlists his nephew's help in regaining lost territory and reputation, while Huang continues his search for both the burglars of Yu Jian and the identity of his father's killer. He goes on to work for underbosses Chan Jaoming, the feeble minded son of Hsin with a penchant for street races, and Zhou Ming, a narcisist who sometimes displays borderline psychotic behavior. | Having fallen out of favor with Hsin for the loss of the sword, Kenny enlists his nephew's help in regaining lost territory and reputation, while Huang continues his search for both the burglars of Yu Jian and the identity of his father's killer.

Hsin's instance that a federal informant is compromising Triad business leads to severe retribution. Under Hsin's orders, Huang executes several Triads suspected of being the rat, and a brief war between the Triads and the Korean [[Midtown Gang|Midtown Gangsters]], who had long been loyal to the Triads. With the aid of [[LCPD]] detective [[Wade Heston]], Huang discovers that a sect of the Midtown Gangsters, a group of assassins known as the [[Wonsu Nodong]], was responsible for the theft of Yu Jian and harboring the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#Grand Theft Auto IV|FIB]] rat. A document recovered by Heston names both Chan and Zhou as rats, and Huang kills them on Hsin's orders. Hsin promptly passes Triad leadership to Uncle Kenny and announces his intention to retire to Macau. | Hsin's instance that a federal informant is compromising Triad business leads to severe retribution.

Huang pursues Kenny to Hsin's mansion, where he injures Hsin with Yu Jian, the weapon having been in his possession all along. Huang takes his revenge and kills Kenny, leaving the Triads without a leader. The wounded Hsin offers the position to Huang, who does not respond. | ||
