Attack on Shang-Chi

The Attack on Shang-Chi was a mission undertaken by Ten Rings operatives, led by Razor Fist, to find Shang-Chi and take his pendant.
==Background==
Swallowed by the rage and grief at losing his wife, Xu Wenwu returned as the leader of the Ten Rings and started a war against the Iron Gang to destroy them as retribution. He finally tracked down their leader, so Wenwu tasked his son Shang-Chi with killing him to avenge his mother. Shang-Chi successfully carried out his mission. However, he could not bring himself to stay with his father, so he ran away and hid in the United States of America. Eventually, Xu Xialing left her father as well and ended up in Macau where she built her own empire, as Wenwu did not consider letting her into his.
One day, Wenwu heard a voice that sounded like Ying Li, telling him that the elders of Ta Lo trapped her spirit in the Dark Gate located near the village. The voice begged Wenwu to come and liberate her, so Wenwu returned to searching for the village, hoping that his wife was still out there, waiting for him. Wenwu discovered that although the entrance into Ta Lo was hidden in the bamboo maze, there was a secret passage that could be accessed once a year at a specific time.
During his research, Wenwu found out that in order to find the passage, he needed two Eyes of the Dragon, two gems from a dragon statue from Ta Lo, that Ying Li gave to Shang-Chi and Xialing to wear as pendants. As both of them left Wenwu, he ordered his subordinates at the Ten Rings to find them and bring them the pendants. Wenwu sent Shang-Chi a fake postcard from Xialing, informing him where she was, and the Ten Rings tracked him down in San Francisco.Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
==Attack==
A group of the Ten Rings operatives, led by Razor Fist, entered the bus where Shang-Chi was. Gao Lei approached Shang-Chi and demanded him to give them his pendant peacefully. However, Shang-Chi did not comply and tried to walk away. Katy Chen tried to intervene, telling Gao Lei that he had the wrong guy only for Gao Lei to knock her away, angering Shang-Chi, who punched Gao Lei off. Joined by more operatives, Gao Lei attacked Shang-Chi in an attempt to seize the pendant by force, forcing Shang-Chi to reveal his martial art skills and defeat them all.
However, during the fight, the bus driver was knocked unconscious, leading Katy Chen to take over the wheel to keep the bus from crashing. As his allies failed, Razor Fist then emerged and attacked Shang-Chi himself, using his prosthetic blade. While Shang-Chi was able to hold out in a fight, Razor Fist was still a threat to other passengers, as he damaged the bus with his blade. Klev managed to record an entire battle, uploading it online, which soon enough became viral.
Noticing that the second half of the bus was barely hanging because of the damage, Shang-Chi devised a plan to get rid of the Ten Rings members. While fighting Razor Fist, Shang-Chi got the passengers to move to the other half of the bus before giving Chen a signal to turn the wheel sharply, resulting in the bus completely slicing in half, while all the Ten Rings members were in the opposite half. However, the bus was close to crashing, so Shang-Chi had to hold onto the passengers from falling off before the bus finally stopped. However, Shang-Chi discovered that his pendant was stolen by the Ten Rings during the fight.
==Aftermath==
Having witnessed Shang-Chi's incredible martial arts skills first-hand, Katy Chen demanded "Shaun" to explain what was going on and who he really was. Shaun simply stated that he needed to go visit his sister, with Katy insisting that she would go with him. While on the plane, Shang-Chi revealed his past to Katy as well as his true name. Led by a postcard Shang-Chi received earlier, he and Katy Chen traveled to Macau to find Xu Xialing and warn her that the Ten Rings are after her and her Eye of the Dragon. At the Golden Daggers Club, Shang-Chi entered the underground fighting tournament in order to find Xialing; however, she was revealed to be his opponent, as well as the owner of the club.
Xialing bested him in a duel, and then Shang-Chi told her about the situation, realizing the postcard he received was a trap, as the Ten Rings attacked the club to fight Xialing. She chose to join Shang-Chi in a fight, saving Chen from falling down the building in the process. However, the Death Dealer stole Xialing's pendant and Wenwu himself later appeared at the club, capturing all three of them and taking them to the Ten Rings Headquarters.
Reuniting, with his family, Wenwu told Shang-Chi and Xialing that there was a hope to save Ying Li by finding Ta Lo. Using the Eyes of the Dragon, Wenwu finally discovered the secret passage through the maze, as well as the exact time when it can be accessed. However, Shang-Chi confronted Wenwu as he revealed his intention to burn the village if they refused to liberate Li from the Dark Gate, resulting in the two becoming mortal enemies until Wenwu's dying moments.
