Zhu is the one who sent the Chinese letter addressed to Iwao Hazuki warning him about Lan Di's arrival at the Hazuki Residence, but it arrived too late.

==Biography==
Zhu went into hiding from the Yellow Heads and the Chi You Men after the death of Iwao Hazuki. He went into hiding in the Ghost Hall Building, an old run-down building in Kowloon. He is the man who sent Iwao Hazuki a warning letter telling him that Lan Di was coming for him, but the letter arrived too late. Lan Di's father Sunming Zhao was also one of Zhu's best friends. While Lan Di was hates Zhu although it was never revealed why.
However, Zhu is located in Kowloon and he travels there with Ryo as he feels money is involved. Eventually after many struggles with the Yellow Head gang in Kowloon and their efforts to capture Yuanda Zhu, Ryo learns that Zhu is in the Ghost Hall Building. Ryo had to walk on very tiny wooden planks to even get to the room where Zhu was at on the 10th floor. Once in the room, Ryo inserts the keys he found in the room into the Buddha statue. This unlocks a pathway behind the statue to the room where Zhu has been hiding all this time. Finally, Ryo is able to meet him face to face, but then soon right after, Dou Niu, Yuan, and other Yellow Head thugs come in and capture Zhu.
Eventually after many battles and struggles, Ryo and his friends are able to rescue Zhu in the Yellow Head Building. Back at Ren's Hideout, Zhu reveals that Lan Di's real name is Longsun Zhao and Iwao is killed by Lan Di in an act of vengeance because he killed his father Sunming Zhao. But Ryo did not believe this, and Zhu claims he thinks that this happened and that it may not be true. All he knows is that Zhao died.
==Trivia==
