Yuē shū yà Bu

== Early Life ==
Yuē shū yà Bu is the son of the disgraced Chinese Communist military warrior/leader, Lü Bu and the “princess” of Fort Sill Apache Tribe, Tł'é'na'áí. Yuē shū yà was born on June 14th 1967, in San Francisco, California's Chinatown, but due to a substantial amount of debt and a sever lack of financial resources, Yuē shū yà was raised on the San Bruno Mountain, which is near the southern boundary of San Francisco. From an extremely early age Tł'é'na'áí taught her son how to survive off the rich vegetation of the land and how to hunt for fresh game using only simple tools such as a bow and arrow; he was forbidden to touch his mother's hunting gun. Tł'é'na'áí also taught the young Yuē shū yà how to properly cook, clean, and eat the animals they caught, instilling in him the Native American custom of never wasting an animal's “sacrifice”. Yuē shū yà's father was a stern but loving person toward his son, often having to instill discipline to the young boy who would wander off in search of other people to play with, occasionally following hikers while on their trail on the mountain. Yuē shū yà never understood why his parents forbade him from ever speaking to the travelers as he wished to learn more of the city he saw from his mountain top home, not knowing that he and his family were illegally living there. In order to equip his free spirited son with focus and a means to defend himself if a time ever occurs where he is in danger, Lü Bu taught his son the Chinese Kung Fu he learned while at Whampoa Military Academy in China; as well as giving his son training in how to properly handle and use a sword, mostly practicing with Lü's katana. A few months after Yuē shū yà turned six, the hike trail was closed down due to lack of interest and feeling lonelier than ever, he began praying to the spirits everyday so that they could bring him visitors and other children to play with. Not long after, the Bu family's life would change forever, when a portal to a barren and desolate place inhabited by some of the most vile creatures and beings to ever live, opened only a few feet from them. Out of the portal came a humanoid race with razor-sharp teeth and retractable metal blades in their forearms. Upon Yuē shū yà seeing these “monsters” he ran to his mother holding her tight. The young boy was so scared he couldn't let out a scream as no noise would come through, he saw his mother talking with his father but couldn't hear a word over his own heart-beat racing as he stared at the oncoming “monsters”. Before Yuē shū yà even had a second thought, Lü Bu kissed him on the forehead snapping him out of his scared daze. Just as Yuē shū yà  begins to reach for him, his mother takes off creating an insurmountable gap between the young boy and his father who began to battle the creatures in order to give Tł'é'na'áí and Yuē shū yà enough time to escape down the mountain. With nowhere to go, Yuē shū yà and his mother walked for days before finally reaching a train station, after which the two illegally boarded the train, hoping to get as far away from those creatures as possible. They rode the train until it's last stop in his mother's home state of Oklahoma. Tł'é'na'áí and her son head for the Fort Sill Apache Tribe reservation where she was born and raised hoping that her people would be willing to take her and her son into the community. When they arrive, the Natives of the surviving Apache tribe embrace their lost princess and welcome Yuē shū yà. Growing up on the reservation was a dramatic change for Yuē shū yà who finally had what he always wanted; children his age to play with and people he could learn about. However, Yuē shū yà couldn't enjoy this opportunity for happiness as he felt responsible for summoning the creatures who killed his father. Yuē shū yà would instead become a loner within the tribe and as a result began to get picked on by the older kids who saw the primitive actions he learned from his life in the wild as stereotypical; as well as often criticizing his lack of world knowledge about common household items such as a telephone or a television. To combat his antagonizing bullies he would often get into fights, using the Kung Fu his father taught him. By the age of 9 Yuē shū yà had been in so many fights he and his mother were almost voted out of the Tribe as they saw Yuē shū yà as a problem child. Yuē shū yà admittedly loved to fight as he saw it as a way to flush out his pent up anger and guilt over the loss of his father. However, in order to not get into any more trouble around the reservation, he promised his mother to make more of an effort and began to watch the television or T.V. as it was also known. Eventually Yuē shū yà becomes enamored with the film industry by his favorite syndicated broadcast, the television series “The Green Hornet”, which stared real life Kung Fu fighter, Bruce Lee. Yuē shū yà began to idolize Bruce proclaiming him as his favorite movie star, for some reason when he saw Bruce's character of Kato fight it just reminded him of his father, even though the styles were drastically different. Bruce Lee inspired Yuē shū yà to expand his training in Kung Fu as the young boy imitated Bruce's moves on screen like a student copying his master. For Yuē shū yà the Green Hornet was an escape from all the guilt and pain he harbored for years, but after the show's cancellation after just one season, Yuē shū yà became deeply depressed, angry and bitter toward the cruelty of the world and began fighting once more. When Tł'é'na'áí finally learned of her son's misplaced feelings of guilt over his father's death, she took him to the Tribe's shaman who explained the roles and ways of the spirits to Yuē shū yà in better ways than his mother ever could. The Shaman taught Yuē shū yà of the Elder Gods and of the concept of realms, as well as Earthrealm's protector Haokah the God of Thunder. The Shaman went on to tell Yuē shū yà that neither the spirits, nor the Elder Gods, nor Haokah were responsible for the release of the evil monsters, or Tarkatans as he called them, as he stated that neither would ever unleash evil or construe a young boys prayer as a summing of death. Yuē shū yà was relived as the wise Shaman reiterated that it was not his fault and became intrigued by the mystical mythos of his people. Seeing this as another outlet for her son to express himself and find happiness within, Tł'é'na'áí suggest that Yuē shū yà becomes the Shaman's apprentice, to which both Yuē shū yà and the elder shaman agree.
== Hot Blooded Yuē shū yà-15 ==
Years later, the elder Shaman of the tribe passes away in his sleep and the young 15 year old adolescent becomes the new Shaman of the Apache tribe. However his new found leadership role in the tribe would not last long as only a few months later Yuē shū yà's mother, Tł'é'na'áí, was violently murdered in a hunting accident by a a well-known businessmen who had been unsuccessfully vying for ownership of what little land the reservation had for the past year. Overcome with anger and vengeance, Yuē shū yà used the tracking skills his mother taught him and found the murdering entrepreneur, killing him in a storm of hot-blooded fury. When Yuē shū yà returned to Fort Sill in the dead of night with his fist and clothes soaked in blood, he went straight to the Tribal Chairperson's house. The Chairperson was the modern equivalent to a chief and happened to be a former lawyer be fore his anointment. Having a background in the law the Chairperson immediately knew how to handle Yuē shū yà's situation; seeing the blood stained hands of Yuē shū yà he knew that the teenagers prints would most likely be found on at the scene of the crime which would inevitably lead to the young boys arrest. Wanting to save Yuē shū yà from the fate of incarceration that so many Native Americans suffer from, the Chairperson decides to send Yuē shū yà to China, as the county does not have an extradition treaty with the America, meaning Yuē shū yà wouldn't be arrested there for avenging his mother and sent back to America to face the consequences of his instinctual reaction. With the plan conceived Yuē shū yà and the Chairperson leave Fort Sill and head for the train station wanting to get Yuē shū yà back to the west coast as soon as possible so he can stowaway on a commercial ship heading for China. They ride the transit until it's last stop in California. The duo arrive during the mid day and then search for the Chairperson's contact who knows which ship at the dock are headed to China as well as those that look the other way toward stowaways. Upon the break of night Yuē shū yà bid his farewell to the helpful Chairperson and boarded the ship destined to take him toward his new life.
=== Shyong Dih ===
A few days after leaving the American coast, Yuē shū yà bore witness to a group of older adolescents harassing a young boy for his food, as the captain only allowed the immigrants their left over scrapes, making food extremely scarce among the fleeing citizens. Yuē shū yà seeing the boy in peril, rose to his defense, ordering the bullies to hand him his food back. However with Yuē shū yà's broken form of the Chinese language, his nonthreatening and comical words are met with laughter, angering the already flustered Yuē shū yà. As the teenagers begin to walk away, Yuē shū yà pounces on the biggest one proving to be a tough advisory to the more bulkier teen, but his friends soon get involved, leading Yuē shū yà to use an assortment of items laying around in order to fend off the attack. The teens eventually drop the stolen food and retreat once Yuē shū yà lifts up an empty barrel over his head, pretending it to be full of coal and extremely heavy. Yuē shū yà, then brings it back to the young boy, who splits the loaf of bread with him. As the two converse over their dinner, Yuē shū yà learns that the young boy's name is Kenji and that he is a ten-year old Japanese American, whose family was killed in America by the Mob, angered over his father's inability to pay back his debt. Kenji goes on to tell Yuē shū yà that he was only saved thanks to his neighbor who heard the gun shots and provided a distraction, long enough for him to flee; he then ran to his cousin's apartment a few blocks away. Kenji's cousin made a few phone calls and brought him to the ship, informing him that he will be picked up by his uncle in China. Yuē shū yà then explained how he came aboard the smuggling ship, prompting Kenji to declare them both orphans, to which Yuē shū yà agreed, promising to look after the ten year old Kenji until they arrive in China. Kenji thanks Yuē shū yà and promises him the same, to which Yuē shū yà smiles at the youth's bravado. Over the next 3 months, the two became best friends and grew as close as brothers, frequently referring to each other as "Shyong Dih" (Meaning bother in Chinese), they often got into trouble with the crew for pranks and stealing food. However once they reach their destination of Hong Kong, China, the freighter is boarded by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and their vice squad captain. Despite their deaf quietness, the police force find the immigrants at the bottom of the ship and begin to arrest the smugglers, as well as the illegal passengers. Refusing to accept his fate, a Chinese triad (who originally fled to America) trying to smuggle his way back into Hong Kong, takes a little girl hostage. With the triad and the vice squad captain in a stand still at gun point, Yuē shū yà uses this opportunity to take Kenji and make an escape, finding a secret ladder to the upper decks. They arrive at the top undetected and Yuē shū yà finds a rope, using it to lower Kenji over board, telling him to swim as fast as he can to the shore. Kenji complies, expecting Yuē shū yà to follow but, he instead returns to the lower deck finding himself unable to leave the innocent little girl in danger.
=== Welcome to Hong Kong ===
Upon returning, Yuē shū yà sneaks behind the triad, signaling to the Vice Squad captain with his eyes. Unsuspected, Yuē shū yà puts the triad member in the kata ha jime, putting the triad's gun arm in a half nelson with one arm and grabbing the triad’s neck with the other. The Vice Squad Captain then takes the little girl and his men prepare to shoot, until the captain orders them to hold their fire as they may hit Yuē shū yà. Meanwhile the triad member and Yuē shū yà go to the floor as the triad attempts to escape out of  Yuē shū yà's choke hold. As they roll on the floor, the triad finds a sharp piece of broke pipe and stabs Yuē shū yà in the side with it, forcing Yuē shū yà to let go of the triad, who then uses the injured Yuē shū yà as a human shield daring the police to fire. Yuē shū yà however, uses his shamanic teachings to block out the pain and begins to fight the triad with his kung-fu, impressing the captain. Unfortunately the injured Yuē shū yà proves to be no match for the veteran fighter, being defeated after a hard fought fight. Yuē shū yà then witnesses the captain decimate the triad member with his Kung Fu showing a masterful display of all five animal forms, before Yuē shū yà blackouts from the blood loss in his side. He next awakens in a bed within a temple and as Yuē shū yà's eyes wander the room, he sees a teenager in a kung fu uniform washing a blood soaked cloth before looking down and seeing his blackened wound, infected. Just as Yuē shū yà looks up he sees the vice squad captain carrying a burning candle accompanied by a group of other boys and a girl. Yuē shū yà then hears the Captain order Sammo Hung, Yuen Baio, Lo Yang and ''Chun Li to hold him down as the captain cauterizes Yuē shū yà's wound with the hot wax, giving Yuē shū yà pain so immense it causes him to blackout once again. When Yuē shū yà woke up for the second time he found himself alone with a bandage wrapped around his waist. Yuē shū yà then wandered out of the room and around the temple to which he witnessed the vice squad captain teaching the group that held him down, as well as an ensemble of others, Kung Fu; more specifically the five animal styles. Yuē shū yà is utterly captivated by the power and grace of the styles, and began to take mental notes of the stances and foot placement. Seeing Yuē shū yà, the vice captain ends the training for the day and goes to see the injured teen. The captain then introduces himself to Yuē shū yà as Dorai Wulong and he asks Yuē shū yà how he is feeling. Yuē shū yà tells the captain that there is only a little pain in his side still and thanks Dorai for his help. Dorai and Yuē shū yà then walk toward his office at Dorai's motion. As they walk, Yuē shū yà informs Dorai of his origins aboard the immigration freighter, however Yuē shū yà purposely neglects to retell his murder of the American Senator, sighting that he escaped America because he witnessed the senator murder his mother. Hearing Yuē shū yà's story, Dorai draws an emotional connection with the boy having worked many cases where children had to witness the death of a parent or both. Dorai then begins to worry about Yuē shū yà's safety in China as he realizes that Yuē shū yà's father is Lü Bu, who was thought to have died in a plane crash 26 years ago after an alleged coup d'etat against China's leader, the Chairman of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong. With Dorai's innate knowledge of how rampant the hatred for Lü Bu still is among the populous, being commonly known as China's greatest traitor, referred to when mentioning treachery and discussed with only utter contempt and disdain, he came to the conclusion that if news got out that a person with the family name of Bu was here in Hong Kong he would be a target for maltreatment and assassinations. Wanting to spare a young boy, who already lost his mother and was now all alone in the world, from this cruel fate leading toward a dark path, Dorai went about the next couple of weeks secretly trying to gain wardship over Yuē shū yà, while in the mean time having Yuē shū yà work for his room and board, mainly consisting of household chores such as sweeping, cleaning, laundry and occasionally cooking.
=== Dorai's Temple ===
However the carefree Yuē shū yà was just happy to be near a real martial arts training area, often taking time out of his chore schedule to practice the animal styles and his foot placement, leading to rushed, poorly finished house work. Because of Yuē shū yà's poor use and understanding of the Chinese languages of Mandarin and Cantonese, Yuē shū yà would repeatedly get into trouble for saying or doing the wrong thing, much to the other students laughter and curiosity. In fact the only people Yuē shū yà could have a full conversation with were Dorai and his daughter Chun Li as they both were fluent in English, this led to the two of them forming a great sense of closeness with Yuē shū yà, with Dorai becoming something of a father figure to the impressionable teen, while Chun Li became similar to a sister and confidant to Yuē shū yà. Nonetheless, Yuē shū yà did make friends with other students such as Dorai's most athletic and youngest student Yuen Biao, the studious Lo Yang, and the up and coming amateur Sanshao fighter Bao Li Gao. The four became close friends although due to Lo Yang's “moral righteousness” he would be left out when the other three would frequently sneak out the temple late at night to meet up with Dorai's first martial arts graduate and Hong Kong stuntman Sammo Hung. During their first official meeting Sammo acted cold toward  Yuē shū yà and made fun by exploiting his lack of understanding, even going so far as to coax Yuē shū yà into a fight with a fellow nightclub patron, after spilling a drink on him and secretly blaming Yuē shū yà. However Sammo's attitude would change toward Yuē shū yà once he witnessed Yuē shū yà defeat the physically imposing man, even after being caught off guard by the patron's first attack. Sammo, Yeun, and Bao then helped Yuē shū yà fend off the bouncers and defeat the patron's friends inciting a club brawl, during which Yuē shū yà impressed the others with his use of some of the animal styles despite never having an official class. Ever since then they would meet up with Sammo and participate in a wide verity of nightlife activities ranging from partying to street fighting, during which Sammo and Bao proved why they were Dorai's greatest students, while Yuē shū yà and Yuen Biao showed that they were the future. At this time Dorai's wardship over Yuē shū yà was finally granted and upon Bao, Yuen, Lo, Chun Li and Sammo's persistent insistence, Dorai allowed Yuē shū yà to officially join the Kung Fu school, no longer being restricted to household chores. Yuē shū yà was determined to establish himself as Dorai's greatest student, and over the next few months Yuē shū yà went above and beyond his training and kung fu studies, practicing day and night, while perfecting his techniques by frequently street fighting, even when his friends went to party instead. Eventually street fighting became Yuē shū yà's only passion as it tested the worth of the hours of his hard training.
=== King of Sanda ===
However because of Yuē shū yà's frequent fighting, he was caught by Dorai who threatened to expel Yuē shū yà from his temple if he didn't give up his vice for street fighting. Noticing Yuē shū yà's unwavering passion for fighting and unrivaled desire to battle the best opponents possible, Bao Li Gao teaches him Sanshao fighting in the hopes that Yuē shū yà would cheer up with the prospect that he could one day be selected to join China's national Sanda Sanshou team as Bao was earlier that year. After a few weeks of training, Yuē shū yà, against Bao and Dorai's better judgment, enters a new Sanshao tournament called the "King of Sanda" fighting against the best Sanshao fighters in the country. Billed as the Hot Blooded Flying Dragon Yuē shū yà Wulong, Yuē shū yà not only won his weight class, but went on to win a grueling one-night open weight round robin tournament against much bigger fighters as well, defeating the heavyweight weight class winner, Ren Yanbing, in the finals, earning him the title Sanda "King of Kings".  Immediately after the  tournament, Dorai was contacted by Mao Zedong's associates informing him that his because of his ward's exciting and charismatic style, Yuē shū yà was personally selected by Mao Zedong to join China's national Sanda Sanshou team, where he would be teamed with Bao Li Gao. The first tour China's national Sanda Sanshou team did in perpetration for the Sanda World Cup, is at the Chinese Sanda Championships, where Yuē shū yà won the 9th National Games Sanda -75 kg Championship, the Chinese Sanda Championships -75 kg Championship, the Chinese Sanda Championships -80 kg Championship and the Chinese Sanda Group Championships 75-80 kg Championship. During the event Yuē shū yà became an instant fan favorite, constantly wowing the crowd with his now famous lightning-fast "high roundhouse" kicks. After the tournament, China's national Sanda Sanshou team participate in the Sanda World Cup in Shanghai, China, where they were set to face the greatest Sanda Sanshou fighters in the world. Riding Yuē shū yà's recent wave of momentum, China's national Sanda Sanshou team took the World Cup by storm placing 1st place amongst the world's Sanshou fighters, with Yuē shū yà becoming a Sanda World Cup Gold Medalist in the 80 kg division. With Yuē shū yà firmly taking the sport of Sanshou by the horns, he decides to turn his passion into a legitimate career, turning professional on his 16th birthday.
== Conqueror of Muay Thai-16 ==
Yuē shū yà's first professional bout was against the 2nd King of Sanda, Yuan Yubao, in the promotion's first "superfight", defeating him soundly by decision to earn the title of "Super King of Sanda". Yuē shū yà would then win the King of Sanda tournament two more times, wining both the Chinese Sanda King of Super Championship and the Chinese Sanda King Championship. Yuē shū yà next competes at the World Wushu Championships in Macau. Reaching the finals, Yuē shū yà faced Muslim Salihov, a highly accomplished Russian Sanshou fighter, in amateur rules competition and beat him on points to win the 80 kg division gold medal. However, some fight observers believed Salihov won the closely contested match. After this bout, Yuē shū yà was determined to prove his doubters wrong by doing something that hadn't been accomplished by a Chinese fighter in well over 40 years; defeat a Muay Thai fighter. Where traditional Kung Fu stylists have almost universally failed, Yuē shū yà knew he could succeed, simply because unlike everyone else before him, Yuē shū yà was the Hot Blooded Flying Dragon and the Hot Blooded Flying Dragon could never be knocked out. With his confidence at an all time high, Yuē shū yà heads to Thailand where he wins three major tournaments against ranked Thai fighters in his weight division. With his victories over Muay Thai, Yuē shū yà returned home to find he has become a national hero for his legendary feat, with pools of fans coming just to welcome Yuē shū yà back to Hong Kong. Having never felt so much overwhelming support, affection, and appreciation for his fighting, Yuē shū yà was adamant on not allowing his unprecedented momentum for a Sanda Sanshou fighter, to slip away and quickly began to establish himself as China's most recognizable combat athlete. Yuē shū yà would become dubbed the "Conqueror of Muay Thai", because of his various victories over top Muay Thai fighters in a series of "Sanda vs Muay Thai" challenges; in one such challenge held in Guangdong, China, Yuē shū yà defeated Lukpoei Grabangkoei a Muay Thai champion from Thailand. He dominated the champion before lifting Grabangkoei up and throwing him out of the ring onto the concrete floor twice, Yuē shū yà then finished the bout by splitting open the already battered face of Grabangkoei with a direct face punch, resulting in a knockout. Yuē shū yà would participate in 4 Sanshou tournaments held in China where he beat multiple Thai fighters, under hybrid rules-allowing for knees and elbow strikes. Yuē shū yà then finished out the year at the Chinese Sanda Championships and won the Chinese Sanda Champion Championships-80 kg Championship. 
== The Greatest Student, A Nation's Hero-17 ==
Upon Yuē shū yà turning 17 years old, he looks to increase his already widespread fame by announcing at a press conference, attended by thousands of adoring fans, that he will be once again participating in the Sanda World Cup later this year. Yuē shū yà then continued his domination of the sport of Sanshou, scoring a unanimous decision victory over Brazilian Sanda Champion Eduardo Fujihara to claim the IKF Sanshou World Championships-80 kg Championship. Other Chinese fighters who participated in that event included Yuē shū yà's close friend, Bao Li Gao, who had himself become the second Chinese fighter to defeat a Muay Thai fighter. In perpetration for the Sanda World Cup, Yuē shū yà began a series of highly publicized matches against foreign fighters, defeating Kyokushin Karatekas, as well as Ossipov Serguei: The Russian Kyokushin Karate 80 KG World Champion/Open Weight World Champion and primary bodyguard for Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev. These bouts eventually accumulated to Yuē shū yà being called by the Chinese media a modern day Gen Huo, who was famous for his legendary triumphs over foreign challengers, decades ago. Yuē shū yà then solidified his stature as the greatest Sanshou fighter in the history of the sport by wining the Chinese Sanda Championships-80 kg Championship for the second straight time. However because of his greatness, Yuē shū yà attracts the attention of the international criminal organization Shadolaw, which tries to recruit him by force, sending a man named Mike Balrog, but he defeats Balrog with relative ease. After this, Yuē shū yà is approached by a powerful triad organization, known as the Ashura Clan. The representatives of the Ashura Clan inform him that he is the 70-1 favorite going into the Sanda World Cup and that their employer wants to make a very profitable deal with the young Yuē shū yà telling the dominating champion that he would get a heavy percentage of the earnings, from the Ashura Clan's bet against him, if he were to lose. Yuē shū yà outright refuses, prompting them to demand Yuē shū yà take the dive, even going so far as to pull out knives and threaten Yuē shū yà's live if he did not comply, to which, Yuē shū yà mercilessly defeated the goons. Yuē shū yà and China's national Sanda Sanshou team would then go on to win the Sanda World Cup. For Yuē shū yà's display of national pride, dedication to his practice, and undeniable skill, Dorai finally and officially bestowed on him the staple of his greatest student; something Yuē shū yà had worked towards for the past 2 years. However Yuē shū yà became unable to proudly represent Dorai's temple as it's greatest fighter, due to the Ashura Clan bombing upcoming events Yuē shū yà was scheduled for. The bombs killed masses of fans and spectators, something Yuē shū yà couldn't forgive himself for, not wanting to put any further people in danger, Yuē shū yà retired from the sport he loved vowing not to compete again until the Ashura Crime Syndicate was brought down, to which Dorai swore it's dismemberment. Yuē shū yà retired form Sanshou with a professional record of 51 wins, 11 of which by knockout, and 4 losses (all by decision), never being knocked out. 
=== As Luck Would Have It ===
No longer a professional fighter, Yuē shū yà finds work at a local Hong Kong museum where he becomes a historian of Chinese culture, leading him to research his own history on his father's side having little to no knowledge of them. However despite finding himself the new hobby of self discovery he was ultimately miserable with his new purpose of life, not wanting to rot away in a tired old museum as if a relic himself. Noticing this Sammo Hung, tires to get Yuē shū yà a job as a stunt man informing him that although the fighting in movies maybe fake, his skills would still be heavily appreciated in the cinematic world. During the meeting with Hong Kong producers, the Shaw Brothers, they noticed that from the side of his face Yuē shū yà resembled the legendary kung fu star and Yuē shū yà's childhood idol, Bruce Lee, whose death a few years ago left a large void at the box office. The Shaw Brothers then immediately asked Sammo about Yuē shū yà's acting experience, questioning his skill, Sammo defends his friend stating that Yuē shū yà can fight and stunt, however Sammo admits that Yuē shū yà's acting was maybe, not so good but quickly refurbished that he could develop in that area with training, vouching Yuē shū yà to be a quick learner. After the interview, the Shaw Brothers speak privately with Yuē shū yà, informing him that for their next movie he will be their leading actor.
=== China's New Star ===
Wanting to see Yuē shū yà's bankability at the box-office, before launching with their major plans, they cast him as the lead in a traditional Wong Fei-hung period piece, titled The Ming Patriots. Yuē shū yà's transition from professional fighter to Hong Kong actor was not a seamless one to say the least, in fact, Yuē shū yà  caused problems on the set for continually physically contacting other actors and stuntmen during the fight scenes even after director Au Yeung Chuen told him not to. On set, Yuē shū yà performed a round house kick on the film's villain, Wai-Man Chan, which rendered him unconscious. Actress and martial artist Judy Lee, who played Yuē shū yà's sister in the picture, stated that while working with Yuē shū yà during the action scenes on the set, the production manager and director instructed him to not make contact with the other actors and stuntmen. Despite continuous warnings, Yuē shū yà continued to make contacts with his kicks to Wai-Man Chan on the set. However, other actors and martial artists claimed that Yuē shū yà had not been reckless with his physical contact with people during the fight scene including Carter Wong who said that "His control wasn't such as mine, but I had no complaints." Nonetheless, the film was a critical and financial success with 71% of critics giving the film favorable reviews and although it hadn't quite matched up with the box-office draw of the historic Bruce Lee films, it became the most successful film since Bruce's untimely demise. With Yuē shū yà's box-office draw power solidified, the Shaw Brothers were finally ready to begin production on their major project, simply and secretively labeled, The Man, The Myth. Only a few days after the successful opening of the Ming Patriots, Yuē shū yà is called back to the Shaw Brothers' studio, where he is given a multipicture contract and a new script entitled Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth. Yuē shū yà is absolutely ecstatic to be given the opportunity to portray his idol in what was to be the first biopic of Bruce Lee ever created. Wanting to make sure he gives he the audiences an authentic representation of Bruce Lee and his unique fighting style, he seeks out one of Bruce Lee's former students Dan Inosanto in order to learn Jeet Kune Do. Dan recognizes Yuē shū yà for his Sanshou fights and happily accepts him as a student, telling him The Conquer of Muay Thai is always welcomed in my dojo. It is during this time that Yuē shū yà actually meets Bruce Lee's 14 year old son, Brandon Lee, who is also a student of Inosanto and is in fact Dan's star pupil. Upon hearing of  Yuē shū yà's new role portraying his father in Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth, Brandon immediately writes Yuē shū yà off, telling him that he'll never compare to his father, sighting that Yuē shū yà would only ever be a second rate sequel that couldn't compare to the original. However Yuē shū yà would earn the opinionated 14 year old's respect when Yuē shū yà became the only person who wouldn't hold back verbally or physically on Brandon during their sparring successions just because of who is father was. Meanwhile, with news reaching Shaw Brothers Studio that Yuē shū yà has gone the extra step of learning Jeet Kune Do in preparation for the role, they reward him by allowing Yuē shū yà the chance to choreograph his fight scenes. Yuē shū yà is overjoyed that the producers have elected to allow Yuē shū yà the chance to do his own choreography, not knowing the decision was made solely in an effort to quell the on set controversy of the last movie and prevent actor injuries. However in a ironic turn of events, Yuē shū yà insisted on “making the fighting real” to which he and the director Lo Wei disagreed over. Nonetheless, Yuē shū yà's idea won out as he was the movies fight choreographer, but Yuē shū yà's real fighting eventually becomes detrimental to the production, due mainly to damaged props and public property, as well as injuries he inflicted on the movie's stuntmen. Despite Yuē shū yà's unconventional methods the producers are adamant about their future with Yuē shū yà, declaring him “China's New Star, and continue to allow Yuē shū yà to choreograph his fight scenes, to the chagrin of the director. 
=== Street Fighter II V ===
With filming continuing as scheduled, Yuē shū yà receives a visit from Chun Li and her two friends Forrest Masters and Bo Kazama. They discover the set in disarray as Yuē shū yà struggles to work with stuntmen with insufficient skill and training to keep up with him in fight scenes. Forrest and Bo's newly established reputation for their recent battles in Kowloon Place, proves to be the perfect curriculum vitae, and Forrest is hired on the spot for a scene as a slumlord on Chun Li's recommendation. Forced to watch from the sidelines, Bo looks on as his friend encounters Yuē shū yà's fast moving fists and elaborate kicks. Forrest provides minimal resistance to the skilled offensive, much to Bo's vocal chagrin. Having suffered through kicks and hits, Forrest evades a series of jabs before being instructed by the director to amp the action up. Challenged to give it everything he has, Forrest leaves behind the role of costumed actor, and begins to view Yuē shū yà as an opponent to be beaten. Forrest quickly establishes an offensive, successfully landing a strike on a closing Yuē shū yà, before evading the return attack to finish with a throw. The move sends Yuē shū yà hurtling out of control into a golden decorative wall with a thud. With Bo egging him on, Forrest makes his first out-right offensive, charging with his own combination of punches and kicks, all of which Yuē shū yà manages to avoid. From the duck position Yuē shū yà launches his own attack, a devastating kick. However, Forrest rolls with it, and narrowly avoids a descending flying kick from the Hong Kong star. Forrest then puts distance between the two of them with his own push kick. As the director prepares to call a cut, an impressed Yuē shū yà expresses a stoic respect for Masters. Forrest returns the compliment in kind, noting Yuē shū yà's skills, but backs himself to win the cinematic showdown. The two fighters then renew their attacks, launching into a familiar exchange of stiff punches, kicks and blocks. Each fighter connects with a range of maneuvers. The two fighters pull out all the stops to impress one another, launching into massive airborne assaults. Yuē shū yà flies with a kick that breaks part of the ornate gold wall, while Forrest misses his target to shatter a chunk of decorative stonework along the garden path. Director and fighters alike show wanton disregard for the invaluable scenery of Hong Kong's famous Tiger Balm Garden. The raging bulls barge through film equipment and leap their way to higher levels of the garden, just as Forrest gets the edge over his opponent with a stiff set of punches, but Yuē shū yà manages to turn things around abruptly with a knee to the head. The move knocks Forrest's costumed slumlord wig off, again prompting on-the-fly changes, as the director and film crew struggle to keep up with the action. Perched like statues of two ancient, warring gods on top of the historic Garden, Forrest and Yuē shū yà continue to destroy priceless scenery, before coming to another stop. Deeply entranced in the heat of the fight, the pair plays for keeps as Yuē shū yà launches into a string of high flying kicks, coming back to the ground with a 360 flurry. Despite the offense, Forrest survives the onslaught and unleashes his own, taking advantage of Yuē shū yà's open torso with a barrage of body rips that end with a spectacular dragon punch. The devastating blow sends Yuē shū yà airborne, leaving him wide open for a flying roundhouse kick, much to the horror of the director and the crew. For but a moment Yuē shū yà appears finished, but he leaps back from his fall ready to continue. Alas, despite the fight's initial integrity, the director calls a cut after Yuē shū yà's face is struck. Yuē shū yà is unwavering in his integrity, decrying the director's imposing "pretty boy" treatment. Even so, the director wins out, leaving Yuē shū yà no choice but to take the loss honorably and express his honor and admiration for Forrest and his impressive fighting skills; while vowing to fight both Bo and Forrest someday in a real fight. After the destruction at Tiger Balm Garden, production on Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth is halted due to the overwhelming production cost, and the brothers begin to contemplate whether or not Yuē shū yà is too costly of an investment. With the movie on hiatus, Yuē shū yà returns home to his Sifu Dorai's temple where he is greeted by Lo Yang, who was teaching the younger students. After meeting the temple's future prodigies, Yuē shū yà goes to Dorai's office in order to get his opinion on whether he is making a mistake by being so annal about keeping the fighting real. However they are soon interrupted by a great noise rumbling the temple, forcing Yuē shū yà to join the other students in checking out what's going on. When Yuē shū yà catches up with Lo Yang and two of Dorai's newer students, he sees a van has been smashed through the wall of the temple grounds as well as an assortment of armed thugs,commanded by a man shrouded underneath a mask, who ordered his men to Kill them all!. Hearing this Yuē shū yà immediately springs to action taking down three of the oncoming goons with just one jump kick. The newer students are in awe that Yuē shū yà is there ready to fight along side them, believing him to be too proud to fight a lowly group of goons, but Yuē shū yà proves those assumptions wrong and rallies the students, telling them We have to stop them from reaching Sifu, now lets make Master Dorai proud. Yuē shū yà, Lo Yang, and the students then lay into the intruders defeating them soundly, until the masked leader orders his equally masked Muay Thai fighters to attack them. The Muay Thai fighters soon begin to overwhelm Lo Yang and the younger students, while Yuē shū yà is able to hold his own having fought and earned a repution for defeating Muay Thai fighters. However, they soon surround Yuē shū yà and their numbers prove to be too great. Having to focus on battling the Muay Thai warriors, a group of the gang's men lead by their leader, storm the temple and surround Dorai. Meanwhile, as only Yuē shū yà and Lo Yang remain against the lethal Muay Thai fighters, Lo Yang is given a serious elbow, splitting the right side of his head into a deep gash near his temple. Horrified at seeing his friend so close to death, Yuē shū yà bandages Lo Yang's head and turns to address the three Muay Thai practitioners giving them a cold stare as he proclaims “You'll Pay For That!!!!”, while ripping off his own vest. Yuē shū yà then gets into his stance and tells them Lest Go”. However just before Yuē shū yà could take on all three of them by himself, another part of the Temple wall is broken down by a car, which continues to drive in between the combatants. This time the intruders turn out to be Chun Li, Forrest and Bo. Yuē shū yà informs Chun Li that he left her father in his office and tells her to beware that some of the other goons may have gotten in. Chun Li rushes off to her father, leaving Yuē shū yà, Forrest, and Bo to battle the Muay Thai fighters, where after a few brief encounters, they manage to defeat them using their weakness of balance. Afterward, Dorai identifies the attackers as members of the Ashura Crime Syndicate, which frustrated Yuē shū yà at first, until he realized that he was finally able to unleash his fury on them making him smile at the thought. Forrest and Bo then reveal that they have plans to now journey to Thailand in order to learn Muay Thai, to which Yuē shū yà, Chun Li and Dorai bid them farewell. Following this Yuē shū yà would temporally remain home bound, in order to help with repairs and teach the younger students while Lo Yang was still comatose. However after Lo Wei finally sends the Shaw Brother the developed and edited footage of Yuē shū yà and Forrest's fight in Tiger Balm Garden, it prompts Shaw Bothers Studio to renew their faith in Yuē shū yà and go all out in order to ensure the survival of the film, allowing the project to be shot in international locations, while increasing the budget indefinitely. Yuē shū yà and the production team then headed to America, a place Yuē shū yà never expected or wanted to see again. Thankfully the film's American scenes is were shot in New York, where there was little to no chance of Yuē shū yà being recognized by the locals or authorities. 
==== Finding Love In America ====
While in New York, Yuē shū yà met an 18 year old waitress at the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase club, named Lucy Liu. They instantly took a liking to one another and began to date during the weeks of his filming in New York. Although it would appear that their whirlwind romance would come to an abrupt end once Yuē shū yà had to leave New York, he brought Lucy with him upon his return to China; where they planned to live together in Dorai's temple until they could find a place of their own.
==== Saving Dorai ====
However after only a few days together, Yuē shū yà is forced to leave as he had already pre-booked a flight to Barcelona to visit Chun Li, Forrest, and Bo auguring that he had already given his word, something he could never go back on. As Yuē shū yà enters Barcelona airport however, he sees a news bulletin of Dorai's apparent murder at Shadowlaw's hands. The news shocks Yuē shū yà greatly and he breaks down, confessing that he loved Dorai more than his own father. The Chief of Interpol, Barrack, consoles Yuē shū yà and reveals to him in secret that Dorai is still alive, but barely, and the news of his survival has been covered up in order to protect him. Yuē shū yà resolves to protect Dorai, and ends up battling the assassin, Cammy, when she arrives to finish the job. During the fight, however, Cammy reveals that she was unaware she was working for Shadowlaw. Yuē shū yà and Cammy work with Barrack to catch Interpol's mole, Balrog, and once Balrog is subdued, Yuē shū yà and Barrack travel to M. Bison's base in order to arrest him. They arrive just as Bo and Forrest defeat Bison once and for all.
==== Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth ====
After this Yuē shū yà heads to Rome in order to film the last scenes for the movie, and upon the feature film's completion, Yuē shū yà returns home. Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth was released to mixed reviews from critics with only 54% giving the biopic favorable review, one such critic Dean Meadows writes: Every director can of course be afforded a little artistic license and whilst a number of fight scenes were completely fictionalized, Lo Wei had undoubtedly created a fitting tribute to the memory of the undisputed "King of Kung Fu" Bruce Lee. With first class choreography, Yuē shū yà mirrored the Little Dragon in a number of standout fights and the full contact fury that people had been waiting to see since Bruce Lee's untimely death was finally realized." A statement made self evident upon the overwhelming numbers at the box-office, which once again came up short of Bruce Lee's record but further filled the Box-office void; China finally had it's new star.
== Bruce Li-18-21 ==
However, despite the film's financial success, Yuē shū yà was admittedly displeased with the films action sequences, sighting his mistake for trying to solely use Jeet Kune Do by stating in an interview "I could act like him but I could never be him." Yuē shū yà then spends his 18th birthday creating his own fighting style based on the martial arts he learned from his father, his Sifu Dorai, and his master Inosanto. Once completed, Yuē shū yà calls  his new style Hitenryu, meaning Flying Heaven and proclaims the technique to be invincible. However, Yuē shū yà fighting style was not the only new thing he had to adapt to as Yuē shū yà was soon set up on a collision course with Shaw Brothers Studio and their foreign distributors, who began advertising Yuē shū yà as a Bruce Lee marketing gimmick, even going so far as to not only change his name to Bruce Li, but to also change Yuē shū yà's history, sighting him as a student of Bruce Lee and the chosen successor to Bruce. Yuē shū yà was enraged at the lies, pointing out that he never even met Mr. Lee, and stood by his honor demanding the distributors to retract their statements. Nonetheless, the distributors refused and Shaw Brothers Studio backed their decision as they inform Yuē shū yà that because of the success of Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth, they had subsequently created an entirely new subgenre of films the press is calling Bruceploitation. The Shaw Brothers then show Yuē shū yà the wide list of films that are now planing to be made to leech off of the deceased actor's wide spread fame, further infuriating Yuē shū yà who reminded the brothers that his portrayal of Bruce Lee was only supposed to be a one time homage as a thank you to the legend and his family for all he has accomplished. The Brothers respond by calling the young Yuē shū yà stubbornly naive, to which Yuē shū yà decides to quit all together sighting that he did not sign up for such an underhanded scheme as to extort money off of a deadman's name. However Shaw Brothers Studio are quick to point out that Yuē shū yà did in fact sign a contract, prohibiting Yuē shū yà from quitting until his 5 year contract was fulfilled, a contract that allowed the Studio to make any decisions that they wanted, which ultimately gives Yuē shū yà little to no control over what films are being made or what transpired in his movies; Yuē shū yà then leaves hurt and defeated by the company he trusted. Weeks later the trailer for Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth is released overseas and in America, where Yuē shū yà's former training partner and friend Brandon Lee has recently moved back to. Brandon would call Yuē shū yà after seeing the trailer and state his disgust for him as a human being for the blatant lies of his relationship to his father and for trying to milk his father's fame from the grave with his subsequent name change to Bruce Li. Yuē shū yà tired to explain to Brandon that he had nothing to do with those lies and that he was just as out raged as him, sighting all of those decisions being made against his will by the studio. However, Brandon dismisses Yuē shū yà's claims as him simply trying to shift blame while still profiting, a further states his utter contempt for Yuē shū yà effectively ending their friendship. Despite, Brandon's harsh words Yuē shū yà took no ill will towards his idol's son simply sighting that Brandon would never understand until he became older and had to deal with shrewd contracts and shady business executives forcing him to sacrifice his own integrity. Yuē shū yà would then begin production on a new movie entitled Bruce Lee in New Guinea or as it would be known overseas, Bruce Li in New Guinea. The title it's self was enough to incite Yuē shū yà's fury as their wasn't even a character named Bruce in the script; a script which in fact called for a kung fu gorilla, as well as Yuē shū yà's first on screen sex scene, despite the writers and producers being well aware of his committed relationship with Lucy. Nonetheless Yuē shū yà's protests went largely ignored resulting in Yuē shū yà and Lucy having to bid their friends farewell as they board a plane to take them to New Guinea. After three months of filming and a week of post production, Bruce Lee in New Guinea was released in theaters, to which it found box-office success, with 52% of critics finding the film favorable, while most found fault with the film simply for it's title calling it confusing and sighting that the only thing related to Bruce Lee was that somebody in the film mentions to Yuē shū yà that he resembled the legendary actor. On the other hand, one reviewer thought Bruce Lee in New Guinea was A good mixture of traditional kung fu films and a more up to date Bruce Lee style of fighting, with Yuē shū yà showing an impressive array of kicks and strikes. Yuē shū yà was proud that Hitenryu was being recognized on a positive light and realized that he has been looking at his opportunity in the cinematic world from an obscured point of view, summering that the movies he completes allow the Invincibility of Hitenryu to be shown all over the world. Yuē shū yà would then head to Shaw Brothers Studio with an renewed vigor, finally excited again about the prospect of a new movie.
=== Displaying the Invincibility of Hitenryu ===
Once at Shaw Brothers Studio he is informed that the next movie he will be staring in is, Bruce and the Iron Finger or alternatively known as Bruce Against the Iron Hand; in which he will actually be playing a character named Bruce. Something Yuē shū yà is very pleased to see; happy the studio is putting more of an effort into his films. Following the successful release of Bruce and the Iron Finger, which earned a considerable box office and 66% of the critics vote sighting a favorable review, Yuē shū yà began production on his next film, Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger. This film would mark the first time Yuē shū yà was part of the creative process for one of his movies, helping create the plot alongside screen writer, Hsin Yi Chang, after Yuē shū yà states a joke about how the Americans' fictionalized back story of his origins, would make a good movie plot. Hsin Yi Chang began to seriously contemplate the passing joke, igniting a two and a half hour conversation detailing the hypothetical plot, sets, action sequences, and score of their fantasy movie; with Yuē shū yà of course, wanting not only real stunts but also real fighting. The next day Hsin Yi Chang and Yuē shū yà excitedly bring their movie concept to the studio, which of whom instantly fall in love with the idea, albeit making some minor changes. The Studio supported the concept so much that they backed the movie up with a larger budget than Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth; however they dismissed Yuē shū yà's request for real fighting sighting that they were still paying for the rebuilding of Tiger Balm Gardens. Nonetheless Yuē shū yà was pleased the studio green lit the project. They filmed the big budget production in less than a few months and successfully finished out the second year on Yuē shū yà's contract. Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger became an instant box-office success just falling short of Bruce Lee's record by 2 million, and became the first movie to reach over a million in Hong Kong since Bruce's death. The movie was also well received by critics with 60% of them finding the film favorable. Following his substantial paycheck from the film's release, Yuē shū yà finally finished the repairs to Dorai's Temple from the Ashura Crime Syndicate’s raid a little over a year ago and begins to run Dorai's temple as the head instructor as Dorai is swamped with overwhelming police work. Word soon gets out that Yuē shū yà is training at his masters Kung Fu school, where he will be teaching the Invincibility of Hitenryu displayed in his films and he is bombarded with students both new and old to the temple. One notable student who returns to learn Hitenryu is Yuē shū yà's close friend Yuen Baio, who has himself become a prominent stuntman and extra within Hong Kong. Another notable student who is new to the temple, is Channie Jack, a former member of the Beijing Wushu Team who won fifteen gold medals and one silver medal in Chinese wushu championships at the age of 12. Now at the ripe age of 16, Yuē shū yà sees nothing but raw potential within Channie and puts Yuen Baio as Channie's sparring partner hoping the veteran Yuen can push the absolute best out of Channie Jack. Other notable students Yuē shū yà begins training are, aspiring amateur boxer, Dragon Chan, up and coming Canadian-Hong Kong kickboxer, Billy Chow and Zhang Tiequan, the Inner Mongolian Wrestling Champion. Due to the wide success of Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger, Dimension Pictures decided to distribute this film internationally. Titling the film Bruce Lee: The Star of Stars, Dimension Pictures comically advertised it as Bruce Li's true story about avenging the death of his master. Bruce Lee: The Star of Stars was a surprisingly big success in the American box office market. It became a huge hit that defeated all of it's blockbuster competition (including the King Kong movie, which starred acclaimed American actor Jeff Bridges) and turned Yuē shū yà into the second most bonafide and bankable international martial arts movie star to ever exist.
=== International Movie Star-19 ===
Throughout the next year, martial arts movies would take up 30% of the American box office and one of its main stars was Yuē shū yà who lead the charge, releasing the box office smashes Soul Brothers of Kung Fu, Edge of Fury (a big hit all over Europe), Stroming Attacks (aka The Image of Bruce Lee, dedicated to Dorai), and Fist of Fury II. Fist of Fury II  was the sequel to Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury and subsequently Yuē shū yà's favorite movie out of all the other ones he had completed prior. Yuē shū yà immediately fell in love with the plot, finding this movie to be more of a homage rather than an exploitation, based on the fact that Bruce Lee's original character of Chen Zhen was his character's older brother; making Yuē shū yà feel free to portray a new character and not have the weight of trying to be an exact replica of Bruce. In Fist of Fury II, the lead role of Chen Shan, played by Yuē shū yà, goes to Shanghai to mourn his brother's death who was killed at the hands of the Japanese. Chen Shan then avenges his brother by killing the Japanese in hot blooded fury. Fist of Fury II wasn't as well received as its predecessor but 67% of the critics who reviewed this film found it favorable; one reporter even writes "Yuē shū yà's martial skills are in top form here and his fights are well choreographed. The final duel with Miyamoto is well staged and takes place at the Ching Wu school. All in all a worthy sequel to a great Kung Fu classic."; Also admiring is reviewer Dean Medows, who wrote: Fist of Fury 2 is a movie that will be regarded as one of the very finest examples of Hong Kong cinema. With his martial arts skills constantly improving, including his earlier limited nunchaku use, Yuē shū yà is now firmly established as a pioneer of Martial Arts Cinema."
=== Where's Sifu?! War with Traids ===
Three months after the filming of Fist of Fury II, Yuē shū yà's entire world was ripped from under him as he receives news from Chun Li that her father has recently been kidnapped. Yuē shū yà asks Chun Li if she has any leads on who maybe responsible, to which Chun Li states her belief that Shadowlaw is behind it. Yuē shū yà dismisses Chun Li's theory sighting that Forrest and Bo destroyed Shadowlaw back in Barcelona and proposes that remnants of the Ashura Crime Syndicate are most likely behind the abduction. The two have a brief disagreement over each others' theories before heading their separate ways in order to conduct their own investigations. However without access to informants or other viable sources of information regarding the Ashura Clan's current whereabouts, Yuē shū yà is left exactly where he started. He soon returns to the ruined temple where he then takes a noticeably shaken Lucy out to dinner in an effort to calm her nerves. There, 20 Ashura gang members — armed with machetes — surrounded him and Lucy; asking why Yuē shū yà has been looking for them. Yuē shū yà smiled as he pulled out Dorai's gun; while having two more concealed. Yuē shū yà told them they had gone too far by abducting his Sifu and demanded to know where they had been hiding him. The Ashura members deny the accusation whilst laughing as they proclaim their wish to have had thought of the crime first. Yuē shū yà calls them all liars and fires the gun into the sky, making the Ashura Clan scatter like rats. Despite Lucy's protest, Yuē shū yà leaves the restaurant in search of the crime syndicate hoping that they'll lead him straight to their base and thus straight to Dorai. Later on, Yuē shū yà finally catches up to them at one of their remaining bases and confronts them with the three guns alongside six grenades. The base is leveled and Yuē shū yà is able to escape before the police arrive, but without Dorai as he was still no where to be found. Upon returning home, Yuē shū yà is berated by Lucy for his actions, sighting that he could have gotten himself killed for his hot-headed nature, to which Yuē shū yà apologizes to her, before being reprimanded by a returning Chun Li; angered over Yuē shū yà ruining months of police work with his destruction of the Ashura base. Yuē shū yà once again apologized, despaired over his failure to rescue Sifu Dorai, to which Chun Li informs Yuē shū yà that she will handle finding her father and that it was not only her burden to bare but also her duty as his only child. Yuē shū yà looks upon Chun Li's determined face, takes her hand, and tells her “As Dorai's ward I also share the name Wulong. I hereby vow that I will find a way to help you rescue Sifu...I swear it Chun Li.” Yuē shū yà then excuses himself from the conversation and heads to his room. While in bed, Yuē shū yà confesses to Lucy his plans for the future, sighting that he planed to join the Hong Kong Police Academy so he could help with the investigation into Dorai's disappearance. Lucy is admittedly hesitant to Yuē shū yà's plans, pointing out that he would be stretching himself thin between training, the academy, and his movies; combined with the fact that his ideas for the future strayed from their original goal of finding a place of their own. Nonetheless, Lucy understood Yuē shū yà's reasoning behind wanting to do all of those things and agreed to support him no matter what he decides to do. Yuē shū yà then told  Lucy that he loved her for the first time to which she smiles uncontrollably as she lets out a “Finally!” and tells him the same. The two proceed to make love and upon the dawn of morning, Yuē shū yà heads to The Hong Kong Police Academy to enroll. The next morning, Yuē shū yà informed the studio that from now on his movies have to be shot in Hong Kong; being upfront to the Studio saying that he recently joined the Hong Kong Police Academy. The Studio is admittedly frustrated at the situation, but ultimately agrees to his terms. Following this Yuē shū yà begins production on a new movie entitled Dynamo, but production is soon halted after Yuē shū yà receives a public challenge by the God of Muay Thai, Sagat Kiatsongrit.
=== The Conquerer of Muay Thai vs The God of Muay Thai ===
Sagat Kiatsongrit at one time was known as the Emperor/God of Muay Thai, a title defended 24/7 open only to Muay Thai fighters, and is a former I.M.T.F light heavyweight champion of Muay Thai. Sagat however was wrongfully incriminated by the Ashura clan and subsequently arrested, preventing him from challenging Yuē shū yà who at that time was dubbed the Conqueror of Muay Thai. When Sagat was released from jail he was once again prevented from challenging the Hot Blooded Flying Dragon due to not only a year remaining on a previous suspension, but also Yuē shū yà's untimely retirement. Upon Sagat's suspension being lifted, Sagat reclaimed his I.M.T.F light heavyweight championship, before journeying to Hong Kong and at the next World Sanda Kings tournament The God of Muay Thai issued a challenge to The Conqueror of Muay Thai for a ``superfight`` under unified rules in order to decide who was the best in the world, a challenge Yuē shū yà accepted without hesitation. However after months of press and intensive training by both combatants, the highly anticipated match up never materialized. Nonetheless the two honorable warriors still decided to fight, albeit different opponents, as Sagat went on to defend his I.M.T.F light heavyweight championship, while Yuē shū yà successfully made his comeback, facing and KOing the undisputed K.O. king of Japanese shootboxing, Iga Koji, after three rounds of competition. After the fight Yuē shū yà not only increased his record to 52 wins with 12 knockouts, but was once again China's national hero. Immediately after having his hand raised in the ring, Yuē shū yà brings in Lucy, Sammo Hung, Yuen Baio, Bao Li Gao, Lo Yang, and Channie Jack to share in his victory. Yuē shū yà then proposes to his long time girlfriend, in front of the entire stadium of adoring fans, to which Lucy happily accepted.
=== Desperate Measures ===
Yuē shū yà had everything he ever wanted, he was loved by millions, once again China's national hero, and now engaged to the love of his life; but Yuē shū yà still felt empty, he knew the void in his heart would never fill until he found his sifu, and began to doubt his own conviction to the investigation; comparing himself to Chun Li who at this very moment was on the case hunting down leads, trying to find her father. Yuē shū yà would later go home and give himself a good long look in the mirror before getting drunk and watching reruns of his favorite childhood T.V. Show, The Green Hornet. Yuē shū yà was then inspired with a solution to his dilemma and the following day, Yuē shū yà makes himself a makeshift Kato costume; deciding to resort to vigilante tactics, in order to hunt down possible leads strictly related to the Dorai case, until he is able graduate from the Hong Kong Police Academy.
=== Finding Balance-20 ===
For the next year, Yuē shū yà splits his time between acting, training his students, the academy, Lucy, and his late night vigilantism. Although clearly over worked, Yuē shū yà still manged to do all of his desired tasks and contract obligations, such as releasing the successful movies, Dynamo (55%), The Gold Connection (aka The Iron Dragon Strikes Back; 61%), The Three Avengers (aka "The Lama Avenger"; 66%), and Fist of Fury III (58%). While mentoring his students, Yuē shū yà was able to bring his pupils to a new level of skill as Zhang Tiequan became China's first-ever brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu; Billy Chow won the World Kickboxing Association Super Welterweight kickboxing championship; Dragon Chan fought in the World Amateur Championships in Bangkok, participating in the Light Flyweight Division, defeating Yan Bhartelemy (Cuba) 22-15, Rudolf Dydi (Slovakia) 21-9, and Harry Tanamor (Philippines) 21-13, before losing to Sergey Kazakov (Russia) 19-23 in the final round, earning the silver medal; Channie Jack, who was heavily inspired by Yuē shū yà's victory over Iga Koji, was left in awe over the millions of his fellow countrymen, cheering Yuē shū yà on and chanting his name after the exciting contest. It was at that moment Channie vowed to have his name similarly echoed by millions and millions of the Chinese populous and decided to achieve that by training hard and representing China's national Karate team. Yuē shū yà himself was left in awe of Channie Jack's advanced progress calling it similar to his own during Channie's age of 17. Yuē shū yà soon saw Channie surpass his sparing partner and friend Yuen Baio and wanted to personally train/spar with Channie but ultimately decided that his hectic schedule would come into conflict with training, so he called his close friend Sammo Hung to come back to the temple and spar with Jack; overtime, Sammo, Yuen, and Channie became known as the three dragons and Channie earned a spot on the Chinese National Team. During this time, Yuē shū yà passed the first year of the Police Academy with high scholar marks and became the top cadet of his class; however, despite his successes, Yuē shū yà was still unable to find Dorai's whereabouts, making his late night patrols and interrogations, as The Black Mask, all for naught. Feeling as if he was failing both Dorai and Chun Li, his guilt began to eat away at him making his vow turn from a convection into an obsession. In fact Yuē shū yà became so distracted by finding his sifu, he turned down an invitation from Sagat to participate in his World Warrior Tournament. Lucy could see Yuē shū yà becoming obsessed with finding Dorai and encouraged Yuē shū yà to steady his mind and spirit by training himself and further developing Hitenryu. Yuē shū yà took his fiancée's words to heart and spent the remainder of the year, fusing the movements of Hitenryu with the principles of Qigong. Qigong is a holistic system of coordinated body posture and movement, breathing, and meditation used for health, spirituality, and martial arts training; with roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance chi or what has been translated as "life energy". By using Qigong, it allows Yuē shū yà access to higher realms of awareness, which Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian philosophers believe awakens one's "true nature" and helps develop human potential. Overtime the philosophers' ancient theories became true as Yuē shū yà began to develop leaps and bounds over his previous limitations, resulting in him being able to unlock his true Hot Blooded nature. Due to the awakening of Yuē shū yà's true nature, his basic attacks nearly triple in power as his resulting blows now erupt in a flaming aura.
=== Second World Warrior Tournament-21 ===
Yuē shū yà then spends the next 3 months perfecting his new found power before receiving an invitation to participate in the second world warrior tournament by it's new and mysterious host. Yuē shū yà, hoping to show case the invincibility of Hitenryu, decides to enter the  tournament. Yuē shū yà's first opponent was a Native American man named Thunder Hawk, an immensely tall and bulky man with long, powerful arms and legs. After Yuē shū yà defeated T. Hawk he advanced to the next round to face Dee Jay, a  cheerful Jamaican kickboxer who fights to musical rhythm. Yuē shū yà had known of Dee Jay's reputation prior to the tournament as "The Southern Comet" a fierce and ferocious fighter. After a hard fought bout, The Conqueror of Muay Thai defeated The Southern Comet. Yuē shū yà would then face off against a member of Red Delta's SIS Special Operations Unit, Cammy White; the same Cammy Yuē shū yà had encountered in Barcelona. Yuē shū yà was at first apprehensive about fighting the now amnesic Cammy, who had forgotten her past, but ultimately fought the former assassin once he found that she kept her fighting prowess intact. Yuē shū yà defeated Cammy soundly, before moving on to face the "Great Yoga Master Dhalsim". Dhalsim proved to be the perfect opponent for Yuē shū yà to debut his new and awoken true nature, due to his supreme mastery over not only his body but also his spiritual being. Dhalsim from his years of intense training had achieved the ability to contort and extend his limbs into forms physically impossible for a normal human; he could project his arms and legs outward in order to deliver attacks that would be out of the range of normal limbs, and had reached the amazing feat to actually teleport from years of intensive meditation, an ability he frequently used to maintain distance while fighting. Dhalsim also had the uncanny ability to breath fire, which he achieved upon his mastery over fully unleashing his latent kundalini energies. The Great Yoga Master gave Yuē shū yà the fight of his life, but nonetheless, Yuē shū yà and his new Qigong infused Hitenryu proved mightier than his opponents unnatural stretchy body and kundalini fire attacks. The Hong Kong star would then advance to the next round of the World Warrior II tournament. In the following round, Yuē shū yà would meet his match against Bo Kazama, his Japanese friend whom he hadn't seen since Shadow Law's destruction. As the two catch up, Yuē shū yà learns that Bo was the winner of the previous World Warrior Tournament, and that he defeated Sagat. Their fight begins with Yuē shū yà managing to land a few good hits, but Bo eventually gains the upper hand and breaks Yuē shū yà's arm. Enraged, Yuē shū yà unleashes his new maneuver, the Shienkyaku, and hits Bo directly in the chest, but Bo surprises the actor with a quick recovery and defeats him with a Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Following his loss, Yuē shū yà would discover that the tournament was hosted by Bison, the long thought dead leader of the defunct criminal organization Shadowlaw. Yuē shū yà was shocked that he was wrong about ruling out the possibility that Bison may have been alive. Upon returning to Hong Kong, Yuē shū yà does some research at the Police Academy database and learns that Shadow-Law had infact survived Bison's apparent destruction four years ago, and now operated under the new name of Shadaloo. Unable to act on this new information due to his broken arm, Yuē shū yà beings his healing process, trying everything he can to make a full recovery at record speed.
=== The Dragon's Demons ===
During this time Yuē shū yà began to show some signs of physical and mental deterioration as he began to suffer from a sever lack of sleep as he constantly trained his mind and body; resulting in Yuē shū yà having to receive medication for both his arm pain and his insomnia, to which he begins to abuse the prescribed drugs, forcing him to deal with side effects such as paranoia, depression, and impaired judgment. Fortunately for Yuē shū yà his radically risky recuperation regimen heals him in a little under three months. However, although Yuē shū yà was now healed, he was still unable to pursue Shadaloo's operations based in Hong Kong, as he was contractually obligated to start filming his next movie immediately. Deadly Strike aka Wanted! Bruce Li, Dead or Alive, was Yuē shū yà's next major film earning 69% of critics approval before filming Goodbye, Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death. Goodbye, Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death was originally a psuedo-documentary in which Yuē shū yà was introduced as a gymnast who would complete Bruce Lee’s uncompleted movie Game of Death. There was a short interview with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the original costar of Game of Death, at the beginning. Then, mid-course through this documentary, a “movie” began, in which Yuē shū yà fought crooks and eventually rescued his fiancée, who was held in a martial artist-filled pagoda. During the pagoda martial arts sequences Yuē shū yà based the martial artists and choreography off of his experiences during the second world warrior tournament. The psudeo-documentary turned out to be a success with 71% of critics giving the film favorable reviews. Seeing the success of the psudeo-documentary, the American film market wanted to cash in on Goodbye, Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death. However the American distributors edited the film to make it resemble a standard martial arts movie and not a documentary at all. The distributors cut out the Jabbar interview and the original narration, which explained who Yuē shū yà's character was, and replace the informational narration with theme music; a song dedicated to Bruce Lee called “King of Kung Fu”. The distributors also made several edits to the film which left critics confused as the movie, now entitled New Game of Death, continues to have Yuē shū yà being taken to a producer's office, where he's told that he's been chosen to complete Bruce Lee's movie Game of Death. Yuē shū yà's character agrees, and the producers have him and his girlfriend sit down in a projection room, so they can show him "the portion of the movie that Bruce finished." The projectionist starts the movie and from there on the movie in shown from the perspective of the unfinished movie with no further mention of Yuē shū yà and his girlfriend in the projection room. This Americanized version of Goodbye, Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death was given a less favorable review with only 55% of critics. Following both the success and failure of Goodbye, Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death and New Game of Death respectively, Yuē shū yà would go on to star in Blind Fist of Bruce in what was to be the Hong Kong film industry's first comedy/period martial arts film. However, both Yuē shū yà's devoted audience and film critics alike found the usual stoic Yuē shū yà's new comedic role to be unbelievable. Blind Fist of Bruce would go on to be Yuē shū yà's first box office flop and given a critic review of 58% favorable. Frustrated with the critical and commercial response from Blind Fist of Bruce, Yuē shū yà turns down a series of roles offered by Shaw Brothers Studios opting instead to write and direct his own movie. However, the stress of writing, directing, and choreographing his own movie puts a tremendous amount of stress on the young movie star, who began to neglect his duties at the academy, stunting his progress indefinitely as it was becoming more and more apparent that he was close to flunking out his second year. Lucy seeing this gradual change in Yuē shū yà begs him to seek help and tells him to go to Chun Li for assistance, something Yuē shū yà dismisses finding too much shame within himself for not being able to fulfill his vow of finding her father. Yuē shū yà in turn blames Lucy for his insomnia and subsequent addiction calling her distance as of late, unsupportive and a contributing factor to his emotional stress, helping cause his insomnia. Lucy denies any distance between them and reminds him that she gave up her entire life in America to be with him. To which Yuē shū yà points out that ever since their public engagement she been doing nothing other than photo shoots for the tabloids and interviews with commercial and model agencies. Lucy, hearing his words, is deeply hurt that Yuē shū yà is not happy or supportive in her dreams and goals, telling her fiancee she didn't want to only be known as “Yuē shū yà's wife” and that she wanted to make something out of her life other than being a trophy wife. Lucy then shows, Yuē shū yà her acceptance letter to the University of Michigan, confessing to him that she wanted to continue her education, having dropped out of New York University to be with Yuē shū yà. She tells her betrothed that she originally wanted Yuē shū yà to move to America with her once he completed his final movie, but now believes he has become too self-centered and self-deprecating to care for anybody other than himself and therefore unable to truly love someone else. Yuē shū yà was bewildered by what he was hearing he couldn't even respond verbally, as no noise would come through. However he wouldn’t have to say anything as Lucy kissed him good-bye for the last time, put her ring in his hand and left his life. 
=== Shocking the World ===
Despite the enormous emotional and physiological breakdown, which soon followed Lucy's departure, Yuē shū yà completed his movie entitled The Chinese Stuntman. The Chinese Stuntman was an enormous box-office success with critic's calling it a Groundbreaking New Wave Classic!, 64% of reviewers giving the film favorable reviews. One critic writes that the film was one of the most important films to be made during this New Wave era of Hong Kong cinema. The critic goes on to say that The Chinese Stuntman brings over a surprising level of realism and maturity that previous films had lacked and which, at best, was rarely seen; Especially in the martial arts genre. The critic finishes his review calling the movie a classic. However, despite his success, Yuē shū yà feels empty as he no longer has anyone to share in it with and desperately misses Lucy. Blaming his addiction for Lucy's withdrawal, Yuē shū yà decides to get himself clean by going on a pilgrimage hoping to cleanse not only his mind and body but also his soul. This shocks the world, as Yuē shū yà turns down a contract extension from Shaw Brother's studio and officially retires from acting at the age of 21. Yuē shū yà then finishes his second year of the academy, barely passing among the lowest of his cadet class prompting him to remain unsponsered by the Police Department, rendering him unemployed upon graduation. Following this, Yuē shū yà prepares for his journey and leaves Droai's temple as well as his students in Lo Yang's care. Yuē shū yà's pilgrimage takes the former movie star from the crowded, busy city of Hong Kong to the Shaanxi Province within China's mainland. While in the city of Huayin in Shaanxi Province, Yuē shū yà would come across an old beggar named Chen Hànzì. The penniless Chen, had stopped at a restaurant and tried to con a fellow patron into offering him a free meal. As he was about to leave after his meal, he discovered that the man was actually the owner of the restaurant, forcing him to fight with the owner's lackeys in an attempt to escape. A nearby Yuē shū yà was drawn into the fight by the beggar's peculiar fighting style and he helps the injured beggar escape. Yuē shū yà then takes Chen to the beggar's shack at the outskirts of the city at his request. Upon arrival, Yuē shū yà and Chen are greeted by a 14 year old boy, who refers to Chen as his "sifu". Chen is quick to dismiss the title given to him by the boy, referring to the boy as Chin Gentsai. Together with Chin, the duo help Chen recover and as a reward for his help, Yuē shū yà asks Chen what was the style of Kung Fu he was using to combat the restaurant bouncers. Chen tells him that he was using what is known as Zui Quan but more specifically a form of Drunken Boxing called "The Eight Drunken Immortals", named after the eight xian that the fighting style references. Chen informs Yuē shū yà that he is currently training Chin in the ancient technique and that if Yuē shū yà is interested he would be happy to accept him as a student as well, on the same condition he gave Chin; that he does not call him "sifu", since they are now friends. Chin warns Yuē shū yà that Chen has a reputation for crippling his students during training but Yuē shū yà nonetheless agrees and begins Chen's brutal and rigorous training regime that afternoon, something he believes is perfect for his rehabilitation and re-dedication to discipline.
=== The Drunken Boxer-22 ===
Once training begins, Chen test both Chin and Yuē shū yà's fortitude having the pair hike up Mount Hua, one of China's Five Great Mountains. During the hike, Yuē shū yà and Chin take the opportunity to get to know each other as Yuē shū yà explains his life's journey and Chin recollects to him his origins as an orphan adopted by a kung fu school. Chin tells Yuē shū yà that he grew up constantly overworked as their janitor and even more frequently abused by the kung fu teachers as a walking punching-bag, with the school's cook, being his only sympathizer. Chin confesses that upon his 14th birthday he decided to run away from the temple where after some weeks, he met and befriended Chen who offered him a meal and a place to stay. Once at Mount Hua, Chen starts the lesson by explaining the basics of Drunking Boxing, telling Yuē shū yà The technical features of zui quan are based on imitating a drunkard. The main body method is called sloshing, which refers to the Hollow Body, Wine Belly concept, as though the body is hollow and the lower abdomen (丹田; dantian) is filled with wine (instead of chi), which travels through the body adding power to the movements. The postures are driven by weight and momentum of the whole body, staggering around, creating sudden power from awkward positions, and fluidity in the movements and transitions from one pose to another. Drunken body style seems peculiar and off-balance, but it is actually in balance. After this Chen demonstrates and has the boys try it for themselves, to which Yuē shū yà quickly discovers that the Drunken style is among the most difficult styles of wushu due to the need for advanced basic requirements. Its intangible, heavy sloshing power is gained through training the body to be soft and agile through basic training and the drunken forms. Yuē shū yà is particularity surprised by the relative lack of drinking involved as he always in pictured practitioners of zui quan as being actually drunk, but realizes that zui quan techniques are highly acrobatic and require a great degree of balance and coordination, such that attempting to perform these moves while drunk is dangerous, if not impossible. Following this, Chen teaches his students how to properly incorporate the basic forms within fighting, showing the boys that drinking, swaying, and falling with great momentum are what is used to fight. Explaining that this power must be from softness and heaviness while even the most unusual parts of the body are actively used to attack and defend. He shows them that the main hand gesture imitates holding a small cup of wine and demonstrates how this semi-closed hand uses back of the hand, fingers, palms, wrists, forearms, and other parts to attack or defend, grab or throw, lock or release, etc as aerial and ground dodges and falls can be used to avoid attacks but also to pin attackers to the ground while vital points are targeted. Chen would later end his lesson for the day telling Yuē shū yà and Chin that this particular fighting style is mainly used to trick opponents into unpredictable situations of attack and defense. Chin and Yuē shū yà would continue to train most of everyday for six months before finally mastering Zui Quan's basic forms and techniques. Over the six month span that Yuē shū yà spent learning this technique, he was able to fully over come his pill addiction and found a new hobby in spending his time in the mountains writing movie ideas and scripts based off of his experiences with the training. These new and inventive screen plays ignite his dormant and compressed desire to once again grace the sliver screen as Cinema’s top Kung Fu star, which compels him to soon return to Hong Kong in an effort to rejuvenate his career after the year long hiatus. Despite him being unfinished with his training, Yuē shū yà bid Chen and Chin fearwell, promising to return to finish what he started. 
=== The Long Awaited Return ===
Upon his return to Hong Kong, Yuē shū yà would first attempt to make amends with his past by confronting Chun Li, begging for her forgiveness for his dismissal of her Shadowlaw theory and his inability to keep his vow. Chun Li however, reassures Yuē shū yà that nothing needs to be forgiven and in fact request that the two come together to compare investigative notes, confessing to him that she's known that he is The Black Mask and that her father would want them to save him together. Together the pair deduce the whereabouts of Hong Kong's Shadaloo organization and the duo eventually join up with Dorai's master, the legendary Gen Huo, to bring down the heads of the Hong Kong Shadaloo operation, Xiayu and Yanyu who are in fact two of M. Bison's Doll agents. They engage the pair at their Triad compound and fight off a legion of thugs and criminals before they send the Doll agents running. Following the successful shut down of Shadaloo's Hong Kong operation, Yuē shū yà would attempt to make his comeback. However, upon his return to the acting world, Yuē shū yà found that he was unable to get a production company to sign with him, as in his absence the Bruceploitation genre began to jump the shark becoming less and less profitable; this inadvertently hurt Yuē shū yà as he had trouble separating himself from his Bruce Lee roles. This temporarily distilled Yuē shū yà who began to abandon his dreams of a full comeback opting for just one more movie to showcase the ingenuity and originality of his new scripts and choreography, which was to create a whole new genre of Kung fu movies using slapstick comedy to combine with kung fu. Deciding to produce his own film,Yuē shū yà was in need of the necessary funding to achieve such things and made a deal with a promising American director, Steven Spielberg, to allow his career as Bruce Li to be the focus of a segment of the documentary Top Fighter. In the segment, Yuē shū yà used the opportunity to distance himself away from the dying Bruceplotaion genre he had inadvertently created and was finally able to express that he himself was unhappy that the studios wanted to turn him into a Bruce Lee marketing gimmick, saying "I could act like him but I could never be him." However filming of the documentary would have to be postponed and Yuē shū yà would be forced to return to the world tournament stage, after Shadaloo agents were suspected of attacking stage hands and co-stars working on the documentary. It transpires that Yuē shū yà's retelling of his encounters with both Shadolaw and Shadaloo bears a dangerous resemblance to current S.I.N. operations, which is what attracted their attention to the documentary's cast and crew as they tried to stop the film from seeing the light of day, before connections between the organizations were brought to light. Hoping to put a stop to who ever is behind the attacks, Yuē shū yà enters the third world warrior tournament, secretly believing Bison to be once again behind the tournament and hoping he could find some information about Dorai. 
=== Third World Warrior Tournament ===
During the first round of the tournament Yuē shū yà would face Makoto Kato, a Rindo-kan Karate fighter who entered S.I.N.'s tournament in order to win money to renovate her dojo; hoping that the publicity will enhance Rindo-kan's reputation. Makoto's style is boisterous and aggressive, characterized by powerful punches and kicks, as well as formidable karate techniques that revolve around sudden strikes with precision, often anticipating an opening to deal heavy damage to the opponent. Over the course of the fight Yuē shū yà found that Makoto's slow ground speed was in fact her greatest strength, since she could catch him off guard with attacks which are extremely fast, and could also start dealing cross up attacks. However, he soon found the weakness to Rindo-kan Karate as she became prone to his close range assaults, since her attacks usually placed her in striking range, right in front of Yuē shū yà if he jumped over, blocked, dodged, or parried them; something he was easily able to do thanks to the girl's retaliative lack of combat experience. Upon discovering her fighting weakness, Yuē shū yà warned her of the karate technique's flaws and prepared her for his upcoming attack warning her that she must learn to block or my speed will always overcome you!" before executing his patented Rekkashinken at a dizzying speed once she was in range, defeating Makoto and wining the match. After Makoto's loss, Yuē shū yà admits that he is impressed by her skill and power, and urges her to continue her training. To which the defeated but still enthusiastic Makoto thanked Yuē shū yà vowing to showcase Rindo-kan's greatness again someday. Yuē shū yà's next opponent would be El Fuerte a Mexican luchador, known as the hurricane of the gulf of Mexico. El Fuerte was a short, but very muscular fighter who specialized in lucha libre which is a mix of grappling and physical strikes, but with a larger emphasis on drops and flips. Yuē shū yà had seen a style similar to this during the previous tournament by a participant named Victor Zangeif, who was also a professional wrestler. Remembering Zangeif's weakness as his debilitating lack of speed, Yuē shū yà theorized that keeping distance with his superior quickness would tire out the bulkier fighter making him susceptible to stronger close ranged attacks. However at the start of the match, Yuē shū yà's entire game plan is proven obsolete as El Fuerte attacks him with blinding speed, using an array of acrobatic techniques to keep Yuē shū yà guessing. Although initially overwhelmed by El Fuerte's combination of speed and strength, Yuē shū yà found a new weakness in El Fuerte's fighting style, using a Qigong empowered technique of his known as the Ryuu Shin Yassai. Deciphering that El Fuerte's speed was so blurring that he must only be barley able to control it himself, Yuē shū yà closed his eyes and heavily concentrated where his opponent's next attack would be coming from; using his ears to detect the footsteps of El Fuerte and his direction. As he came at Yuē shū yà at full charge, Yuē shū yà used El Fuerte's own forward momentum to propel him into his inflamed fierce punch, which reeled El Fuerte back and opened him up to a flurry of punches before Yuē shū yà  proceeds to punch the foe upwards, and finish him off with an inflamed jumping kick; completing the Ryuu Shin Yassai. Following the attack, El Fuerte is rendered unable to continue and Yuē shū yà advances to the next round of the world warrior tournament. Yuē shū yà's next opponent was a dream match for Chinese fight fans, as he would face off against Gen Huo, someone Yuē shū yà has been compared too since his first victory over a muay thai fighter. Although the two had become acquaintances following their destruction of Shadaloo's Hong Kong base, both fighters relished the chance to fight one another, as Yuē shū yà wishes to know if the old man is truly the legendary Invincible Assassin, and Gen seeks to find out if Yuē shū yà is truly worthy enough to be called a modern day version of himself. Both fighters soon get the answers they seek as the combatants go all out on one another, with Yuē shū yà immediately resorting to his Qigong empowered techniques and Gen quickly displaying his mastery over various kung fu styles utilizing his skill in assassinations. The fight is a brutally grueling and utterly exhausting back and forth bout which ends in duo using their greatest techniques on one another simultaneously. As Yuē shū yà lands a devastating jump kick to the back of Gen's leg, Gen draws back before launching a flurry of open-handed hand stabs, following this Yuē shū yà proceeds to deliver a series of rapid powerful punches targeting Gen's vital points while Gen simultaneously launches another flurry of strikes to various pressure points on Yuē shū yà's torso. The two then finish each other off with Yuē shū yà executing Bruce Lee's famed one-inch punch, while Gen hits one final pressure point on Yuē shū yà's forehead and they both crumple to the ground; effectively completing the Gekirinken and Shitenketsu, respectively. With neither combatant able to continue the bout ends in a draw and both fighters are eliminated. Following his elimination from the tournament and subsequent recovery, Yuē shū yà spends the duration of the tournament infiltrating and investigating S.I.N's secret base. During this secret op, he is found by another participant of the tournament, a man named Abel, who turns out to be an admirer of Yuē shū yà and requests Yuē shū yà to fight him, to which he agrees despite his injuries as he admits that he was never one to back out of a challenge. Despite a resounding effort Yuē shū yà loss to Able, but nonetheless, after their bout, Yuē shū yà departed to continue his mandatory goal. Yuē shū yà then faced the man behind the attack on the documentary crew and the host of the tournament. Yuē shū yà was surprised to find that Bison wasn't the host and even further bewildered that the tournament's true host Seth was a silver skined and an extremely muscular, synthetic human that lacked clothing or hair. In his abdomen, enclosed inside a pattern consisting of the Eight Trigrams of Taoist cosmology, is an exposed area, which contains a rotating sphere known as the Tanden Engine, which appeared to be the source of his power. When Yuē shū yà demands answers from Seth, actually one of his copies, Seth challenges Yuē shū yà, to which he quickly accepts. However, Yuē shū yà would be quick to discover that Seth is powerful enough to  employ special powers and techniques from various participants of this years tournament, such as the American air force fighter Guile's Sonic Boom and Forrest and Bo's Shoryuken. He also possesses a metamorphic body of sorts, being able to stretch his arms like Dhalsim and teleport similarly to him. This initially overwhelms Yuē shū yà to the utter brink of exhaustion and defeat, but just as all hope appears to be lost, Yuē shū yà discovers that underneath all of his opponents copied moves, Seth's basic fighting style is strangely equivalent to Able's. Having just fought Able prior, he is able yo recognize Seth's use of Combat Sambo, which is Russian wrestling with military elements and various MMA styles mixed with Judo, Able's trademark. Yuē shū yà then test out a theory he originally devised against Able but was unable too. As Seth uses the teleportation technique a multitude of times in order to confuse and get close to Yuē shū yà, in order to grasp the young warrior, Yuē shū yà closes his eyes, and heavily concentrates on where his opponent's next attack will be coming from. After Yuē shū yà pin points Seth's teleportation pattern, he begins to yell and enters a "power surge" pose as he gathers up an enormous amount of Qigong energy to infuse with his next attack. Simultaneously, as Seth once again appears, to grab Yuē shū yà from behind, Yuē shū yà swiftly turns around delivers a combination of five Rekkaken punches turning the final punch into a deadly blow to his Seth's midsection. He follows with a flurry of body strikes to the synthetic organism, followed by a powerful uppercut which sends Seth sky high. Yuē shū yà then finishes Seth off by delivering a ferocious flaming Rekkukyaku; successfully completing the Rekkashingeki. With Seth now defeated, Yuē shū yà once again demands answers from the Seth clone and Seth finally replies that "Sometimes the media can get too close to the truth". However, their conversation is interrupted when a kunai (a ninja throwing dagger) strikes Seth in the neck, killing him. Yuē shū yà ultimately leaves the S.I.N building and the tournament without answers regarding the attack or Dorai. Although dismayed, Yuē shū yà vows to continue looking into S.I.N operations, and returns to the documentary set in order to finish the final day of shooting. After the shoot, Yuē shū yà is confronted again by Abel. Abel, having heard that Yuē shū yà plans to investigate further into S.I.N. and Shadaloo, wants to help but also wants to warn Yuē shū yà of the danger in doing such things. When Yuē shū yà replies that it's "Not a problem", Abel is satisfied, having had a feeling he would say that. He then asks "Where do I begin?". 
=== Fighting Shadaloo-23 ===
The duo would then spend the better part of a year investigating both S.I.N and Shadaloo but were ultimately only able to bring down a sub-division within Shadaloo led by American mobster Cracker Jack and Geki, a Japanese ninja assassin who participated in the first world warrior tournament. Yuē shū yà and Able became aware of the division’s existence having traced back the kunai used to kill Seth to Geki's ninja clan deep within Japan. Upon secretly investigating the clan, the two uncover a plot to kidnap the daughter of a wealthy multimillionaire named Blair Dame. The duo then head to Blair's home in Europe but are too late to rescue her as they are held back by Geki's ninjas. Nonetheless, the pair track the Shadaloo ninjas to their secret base on a far off island where the final battle continues, resulting in Blair's rescue, Cracker Jack's defection and Geki's disappearance. With their battle over, Able decides to temporarily abandon his pursuit of S.I.N and rediscover himself wandering over Europe. With Able gone, Yuē shū yà too decided to return home, longing to return to his students and Dorai's Temple.
=== Forbidden Technique ===
Once home, Yuē shū yà took back the reins of the Hitenryu kung fu school, and spent the remainder of the year making up for lost time, advancing his students the next level of Hitenryu; Qigong. Over the next four months Yuē shū yà teaches his students how to use Qigong to infuse their chi with their Hitenryu attacks making them all improve leaps and bounds in power and skill. However, Yuē shū yà would soon learn the side effects of Qigong as his years of over use began to take it's toll on Yuē shū yà's body. Discovering that his repeated usage of the ancient technique has left his chi unbalanced and is slowly draining his "life force", Yuē shū yà halted all further training. Yuē shū yà informed his students of the heavy cost of using Qigong and declared the technique forbidden, not only to his pupils but to himself. However knowing the vast power of the Qigong empowered attacks, Yuē shū yà puts one stipulation on the matter; One may use the forbidden skills of Hitenryu under the strict condition of its use in the protection of someone or something precious to them. With the ban in place, Yuē shū yà would secretly resolve to seek what went wrong with his Qigong balance while training his students for a further six weeks wanting to test each students' mastery of Hitenryu before graduating them, as the only thing he had left to teach them were the forbidden techniques, leaving essentially nothing left. With all his students passing his series of test, both physical and mental, Yuē shū yà graduated the group and bid his pupils farewell. 
=== Hitenryu's Ultimate Defense! ===
With his students now gone, Yuē shū yà devoted all his time to his studies and was finally able to figure out that his chi became unbalanced due to the Hitenryu fighting style being fundamentally unbalanced as it had an overwhelming amount of Yang, due in part to Hitenryu's pure aggressive fighting style which essentially lacked a sufficient defense technique. Yuē shū yà spent the next several weeks developing the yin to Hitenryu's yang, forming an all around style of self-defense that in Yuē shū yà's words is a style of no style, basing his new techniques of defense on Bruce Lee's philosophy of making his art of fighting without fighting, applying the Jeet Kune Do principle of being like water Yuē shū yà agreed with Lee's emphasis that every situation, in fighting or in everyday life, is varied. To obtain victory, therefore, they both believed it is essential not to be rigid, but to be fluid and able to adapt to any situation. Lee's theory behind this was that one must be able to function in any scenario one is thrown into and should react accordingly. One should know when to speed up or slow down, when to expand and when to contract, and when to remain flowing and when to crash. It is the awareness that both life and fighting can be shapeless and ever changing, which allows one to be able to adapt to those changes instantaneously and bring forth the appropriate solution. Thus Yuē shū yà created defensive Hitenryu in which he infused pacifistic Buddhist teachings with a Hitenryu style retaliation a style that unlike it's aggressive form, utilized the entire surrounding environment, including weapons and terrain to either help win the fight or mount a formidable escape. With his aspirations of further developing Hitenryu complete, Yuē shū yà journeyed back to Shaanxi Province in order to find Chen and keep his promise.
=== Keeping a Promise-24 ===
With the basics already firmly under his belt, Chen began to teach Yuē shū yà his famed Eight Drunken Immortals technique, starting with Lü Dongbin, the leader of the 8 immortals, with a sword on his back that dispels evil spirits, swaying back and forth to trick the enemy, the drunken with internal strength. Over the next three months he also learned the forms Li Tieguai, Li, the cripple, walks with an iron cane, feigns the weakness of having just one leg, to win the fight with one powerful leg. Han Zhongli, the strongest immortal, carries a large cauldron of wine, tackles the enemies with strength. Lan Caihe, sexually ambiguous, carries a bamboo basket, attacking the enemies with swaying waist, mostly feminine postures. Zhang Guolao, old man Zhang, donkey rider, with his entertaining postures on the donkey, and his donkey's lethal swift double kicks. Cao Guojiu, the youngest immortal, a clever, controlled fighter, locks and breaks the joints, attacks the deadly soft parts of the enemy body. Han Xiangzi, flute-playing immortal, denying and countering the enemy attacks with powerful wrists. And finally He Xiangu, Miss He, flirting with the enemy to cover her short-range attacks, evading the enemy attacks with the twisting body; mastering them all. With the forms mastered Chen teaches him how to combine these elements to form a complete fighting art. He also teaches this style through several weapon forms with Yuē shū yà's main weapon of choice being the drunken sword, while also taking an interest in the staff. With his training in Drunken boxing complete Yuē shū yà spent another month at Mount Hua, integrating Drunken boxing into Hitenryu.
=== Internal S.I.N. ===
Once that is completed Yuē shū yà returns back to Hong Kong once again, wanting not only to continue his purist of restarting his acting career by showcasing the practicality and efficiency of the new style of Hitenryu but to also join a local police force and once again help in the Dorai investigation. While actively looking for legitimate work as a policeman, Yuē shū yà begins production on his new self-produced movie, but ultimately finds himself hesitant to commit to his new comedic scripts due to his previous failure with Blind Fist of Bruce. Similar to how the film industry executives could only see Yuē shū yà as nothing more than a Bruce Lee clone, his audience could only ever see him as the stoic heroic characters that his on screen persona has played throughout his three year career. Yuē shū yà realized that despite how good the action, acting, and script maybe, his fan base would ultimately refuse to believe his new script characters which are based on his true happy, naive, and clumsy self. Prompting Yuē shū yà to write an entirely new script based on his adventures with Able against Geki's ninjas and the Shadaloo sub-division; entitled Internal S.I.N. While spending the remainder of the year writing, filming, directing, editing, and choreographing Internal S.I.N Yuē shū yà met and began dating the Miss Hong Kong pageant runner-up and the Miss Photogenic award winning model, Maggie May Cheung. Internal S.I.N opened up to audiences two weeks before the new year, during the downturn period of the Hong Kong film industry and although it was one of Yuē shū yà poorest box-office performances, sighting a sever lack of publicity or endorsement, and only received 60% of favorable reviews from movie critics, Internal S.I.N became Yuē shū yà's most critically acclaimed film, wining The Hong Kong Film Awards' most wins for a single film, receiving a total of 9 awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume/Make Up design and Best Original Film Score. Yuē shū yà personally won three of those awards being presented with Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. Seeing the critical success of the movie, an American film company named Bedford Entertainment comes to Yuē shū yà seeking to produce the American release of Internal S.I.N, something Yuē shū yà ultimately agreed to under the strict condition that he did the translation and his own dubbing for the film. Internal S.I.N would go on to have a better American Box-office performance than the Asian release and was once again critically acclaimed as it won the American equivalent to the Hong Kong Film Awards, an Academy Award, for Best Foreign Language Film. Following in the foot steps of Yuē shū yà's Internal S.I.N, Hong Kong movie producers began to believe that Bruceploitation had the potential of making a comeback, similar to the actor who invented the genre. 
=== China's Newest Star ===
However, the Bruceploitation films that followed were disastrous box-office bombs one of which starred Yuē shū yà's star pupil Channie Jack. Knowing his film career was all but over, Yuē shū yà did not want the young Channie's new career to dissipate and fade as well, so he decided to entrust Channie with his personal scripts, wanting to officially pass the torch to his student not only in martial-arts but also in acting. Yuē shū yà knew that his scripts could revitalize the film industry and propel Channie to Hong Kong cinema's new star, but before Yuē shū yà gave him the reins to the kingdom, he took Channie to Mount Hua to personally complete his training in Hitenryu, showing him Hitrenryu's new defensive fighting style. After six months, the two completed their training and returned to Hong Kong where Yuē shū yà was able to get Channie temporarily out of his contract with the film producer Lo Wei and given to the Seasonal Film Corporation under a two-picture deal. Following this Yuē shū yà handed Channie his scripts entitled: Drunken Master, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, The Fearless Hyena, and The Young Master.
== Royal Hong Kong Police Force-24-33 ==
With Yuē shū yà's acting career fully behind him, May is at last convinced of his dedication to joining the Hong Kong Police force and finally agrees to request Yuē shū yà's acceptance to her uncle Bill Han, an Inspector at the Royal Hong Kong Police Force. Wanting to please May, Bill gives Yuē shū yà a try out, taking him on a citizen ride along. During the routine patrol, Yuē shū yà earns Bill's friendship and respect saving his life from a Nguuhao assassin, infamous for their barehanded fist of toxins. With the assassin defeated Yuē shū yà and Bill go on to shut down the Hong Kong division of the Nguuhao cartel, one of the largest cartels in Asia and solve the case of kidnapped children that had been plaguing the Royal Hong Kong Police Force for months. With the ride along over, Bill agrees to give Yuē shū yà a job on the force, but admits to him that it maybe sometime before Yuē shū yà is allowed to choose his own assignments which will prevent him from joining the Dorai case.
=== The Glass Story ===
The next day Yuē shū yà begins his new career as a member of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and is reunited with his closest friend at the academy, Inspector "Big Mouth" Kim. On Yuē shū yà's first case, he is assigned by Superintendent Raymond Li to help the department with their major crack down on organized crime in Hong Kong, starting with him taking part in "Operation Boar Hunt", an undercover sting operation to arrest Triad boss Chu Tao. While he and other undercover officers are surveying a group of mobsters in a shanty town, a shoot-out begins as the gangsters spot the police. Chu Tao flees and attempts to escape in a double-decker bus while Yuē shū yà chases after him on foot. He eventually catches the bus and hangs on to it using an umbrella but is thrown off. He then manages to get in front of the bus and bring it to a halt by threatening to shoot the driver with his service revolver. As he arrests Tao, he is offered a bribe to let him go, but refuses. Later, Yuē shū yà is reprimanded by Superintendent Li for letting the operation get out of hand, but is subsequently presented to the media as a model police officer, being their most recognizable officer. His next assignment is to protect Chu Tao's secretary, Selina Fong, who plans to testify in court about Chu Tao's illegal activities. At first, Selina insists that she does not require protection, but after Yuē shū yà has Inspector Kim break into her apartment and pose as a knife-wielding murderer, she becomes more cooperative. After Yuē shū yà and Selina leave her apartment later that evening, they are attacked by some street thugs, whom Yuē shū yà is able to defeat with his Hitenryu, though the fight leaves Selina's car a wreck. When Yuē shū yà arrives at his apartment with Selina, who is only wearing lingerie and Yuē shū yà's jacket, he is surprised by his girlfriend and her friends, who are throwing a congratulation party for him. May, seeing the scantily-clad Selina, misunderstands and becomes angry with Yuē shū yà, shoving the cake into his face. Yuē shū yà is later able to explain to May that Selina is a witness, but only after much bumbling and further misunderstanding, causing her to leave the scene. Meanwhile, Selina has discovered that the attack by the man with the knife at her apartment was a sham, so she decides to slyly record over her confession about working for Chu Tao that took place in the car ride there. She later sneaks away while Yuē shū yà is sleeping and is not present at the trial the next day, which ends with failure for the prosecution because of Selina's absence and tampering with the recording. Though Chu Tao is released on bail, he wants revenge against Yuē shū yà. He captures Selina and threatens to kill her to ensure her silence. Yuē shū yà finds and frees her, but is attacked by several of Chu Tao's men. When fellow Police Inspector Man arrives, he reveals that he had been working with Chu Tao and thus Selina's capture was merely a ruse to trap Yuē shū yà. To the Inspector's grim surprise, the plan is also to include Tao's men killing him with Yuē shū yà's gun in order to frame him for murder. With Inspector Man dead, Yuē shū yà uses the opportunity to attempt an escape defeating several of Chu's men and fleeing to the roof. Once on the roof with nowhere else to run, Yuē shū yà safely flings Selina to a nearby pool several stories down before being cornered. The triads then chloroform Yuē shū yà at gun point, rendering him unconscious. Several hours later, Yuē shū yà awakens in a rural town outside of Hong Kong. As he walks toward civilization, he comes across a local store and finds that he has become the main suspect in Inspector Man's death. He then heads straight to the department wanting to tell his side of the story and Chu Tao's involvement. However despite, Yuē shū yà's retelling of the events, Superintendent Li orders him to be arrested, prompting Yuē shū yà to take the Superintendent as a hostage in order to escape custody, though he soon lets his co-operative superior go free. Now on the run from both Chu's men and the police, Yuē shū yà must try to catch Chu Tao and clear his name. Meanwhile, Selina goes to Chu Tao's office at a shopping mall to download incriminating data from Chu Tao's computer system. Chu Tao notices this and he and his men rush to the shopping mall to intervene. Yuē shū yà and May, who are monitoring Chu Tao's activities, follow. In the ensuing carnage, Yuē shū yà defeats all of Chu Tao's henchmen and destroys a good portion of the mall. The briefcase containing the computer data falls to the ground floor of the mall, but Chu Tao retrieves it after attacking May. Yuē shū yà, at the top floor, slides down a pole wrapped in lightbulbs to the ground floor and catches Chu but the rest of the police force quickly arrives and prevent him from further taking matters into his own hands. Selina attests to them that Danny Chu killed Inspector Man and evidence of his crimes is in the briefcase. Chu's defense attorney shows up and accuses the police of misconduct, prompting Yuē shū yà to punch the attorney in the face, breaking his glasses, Chu Tao then receives a beating from an at-wit's-end Yuē shū yà, who goes on to extend the beating to Chu Tao before being stopped by his friends Tak and Kim who prevent him from delivering one final kick to Chu Tao.
=== The Extortion Story ===
With the successful take down of Chu Tao's triad organization, Yuē shū yà was sure that he would be on the receiving end of a promotion and would at long last be able to find his sifu, however, after the events of what the media dubbed the “Glass Story” Yuē shū yà was instead demoted to highway patrol as the result of his handling of his first case. The new duty pleases May, who is glad that Yuē shū yà is no longer taking difficult cases and has more time to see her. However, the happy mood would soon change months later when Yuē shū yà was greeted by Chu Tao and his bespectacled right-hand man, John Ko. Chu Tao was terminally ill with only three months left to live, so he was released from prison, and while he's still alive he vows to make life difficult for Yuē shū yà. Later, John Ko and some henchmen show up at Yuē shū yà's apartment and try to intimidate him, baiting the policeman to attack. Following this, May and her mother are beaten by John Ko and his men. Yuē shū yà no longer able to hold back, lashes out against John Ko and his men at a restaurant utterly defeating them albeit destroying the restaurant. Ashamed of his behavior, Yuē shū yà resigns from the Police Force. Wanting to atone for failing to protect May, he plans to take a trip to Bali with her, but while he's at a travel agency in a shopping mall, some police officers see him and report that the mall is under a bomb threat. Unable to resist the urge to get involved in police work, Yuē shū yà tells the officers to sound the fire alarm and have the mall cleared, agreeing to take responsibility for the decision. A bomb does indeed explode, and the entire mall is leveled by the blast. Yuē shū yà is praised for his efforts, but ultimately decides to remain retired as he promised May. However as Yuē shū yà and May board the plane to Bali, he is called off the plane for a routine check of their passports and is ambushed by Inspector Bill and Superintendent Li, who ultimately convince Yuē shū yà to reinstate and solve the case of the bombing, promising the young officer the choice of his next case. As Yuē shū yà goes to tell May, he finds the plane has already taken off with out him, something the stewardess promised wouldn't happen. Nonetheless the next day, Yuē shū yà begins his next case, working with Bill to plant a covert listening device in the mall property company's office to try to learn more about the bombers. Later that day, May comes back to Hong Kong informing Yuē shū yà that she was detained in Bali for not having her passport and verbally berates her boyfriend, breaking up with him and storming off. Following this, Yuē shū yà is assigned a new team of officers fresh from the academy, to help him with the case. After greeting the team, Yuē shū yà takes the rest of the day off to meet up with May. The two sit together for hours not saying a word, before May announces that she is heading home, leading Yuē shū yà to try and walk her home. As they walk, the two are confronted by John Ko and his men, who hold them at gun point. As Ko shoots, Yuē shū yà ducks and May's face is sprayed with oil sludge. Yuē shū yà and Ko's men then fight in a nearby park where Yuē shū yà once again defeats Ko's men leaving the group running. Yuē shū yà soon goes to check on May who tells him that this attack confirms that they can't be together, asking Yuē shū yà what he would've done if that gun had acid in it instead, leaving him speechless. Trying to get his mind off of May, Yuē shū yà dives into work with his new team which leads to a suspect who is a deaf-mute and a fierce martial artist and explosives expert. The bombing gang, aware that the police are on to them, plan a simultaneous bombing of the property company and the police headquarters. To make matters worse, Yuē shū yà is told by May's mother that she has been abducted. Convinced Chu Tao and John Ko are behind this, Yuē shū yà storms Tao's mansion and defeats his horde of henchmen demanding to know where May is. However, Ko and Tao admit that they had nothing to do with the kidnapping, something Yuē shū yà doesn’t believe until he receives a call from the bombers who double their ransom demand to $20 million and confess their kidnapping of May, luring Yuē shū yà into a trap in which he's strapped with an explosive vest and forced to pick up the extortion money from the property company. However, after stealing the money, Yuē shū yà is able to drive his car into a tunnel so that the bomb he's wearing can't be activated, and he strips off the vest. He goes to rescue May, who's being held in a warehouse full of fireworks and Yuē shū yà again faces the deaf-mute man, who throws small firebombs at him. Yuē shū yà would soon gain the upper hand though and brutally retaliates against him, finally throwing him off a third story catwalk onto a pile of plastic drums below. Yuē shū yà then rescues May and departs the warehouse, just as it explodes in a huge ball of fire. 
=== Unexpected Reunion ===
Following this case, Yuē shū yà is promoted to Inspector and he assigns his team to help him with the Dorai missing persons case. However, after only a few weeks of investigating, Chun Li walks into the newly restored Police Department with her father. Yuē shū yà immediately stops what he is doing and rushes over to his sifu and the three warmly embrace as a reunited family after four long years apart. Dorai tells Yuē shū yà that he is still surprised to see that he has become a police officer despite Chun Li's foretelling. To everyone's shock Yuē shū yà gets really stoic as he bows to his master, admitting that he became an officer for the sole purpose of finding him. Yuē shū yà then begins to cry as he begs his master to forgive him for not being able to save him from whatever mishaps he may have faced and equally asks Chun Li to forgive him for ultimately failing in his vow despite his best efforts. However, both Dorai and Chun Li help Yuē shū yà from the ground and call his self degradation preposterous. After this the two catch up over the past four years with Dorai giving his needed statement of his abduction to Yuē shū yà. Dorai explained that during his investigation of an international smuggling case with his partner Ricky Tan, they began uncovering a secret and mysterious organization, leading Dorai to discover that Tan was actually working for the crime syndicate. However when Dorai attempted to tell his superiors about Tan, Tan confronted Dorai leading to a fight in which Dorai won. Nonetheless Dorai was soon surrounded by members of the organization and held at gun point. When Dorai begged Tan to promise not to kill his daughter, Tan was so upset by this act of cowardice he threatened to shoot him dead. However, Tan was stopped by a cloaked man with a brooding voice declaring Dorai's usefulness for the future. After that both Dorai and any evidence against Tan disappeared and the case was never solved until Chun Li confronted Tan who revealed that Dorai had been in the cellar of Interpol’s main building for the last four years, kept alive for an unknown purpose. Dorai then tells Yuē shū yà that when him and Chun Li attempted to arrest Tan, after he was rendered unconscious by Chun Li earlier, he had disappeared. With Dorai's statement, Yuē shū yà knew what was next on his list of assignments, the finding and arresting of Ricky Tan. However, despite him and his team finding Ricky Tan after several weeks of investigation, Tan proved to be untouchable as he was now number "489" within the Triads, meaning he has become the Dragon Master or leader of the Wo Shing Wo Triad clan, the  oldest triad clan in Hong Kong. Although, unable to put Tan away, the newly reinstated Dorai declares a war on crime announcing to the media that any Triad member from any Triad clan who commits a crime in Hong Kong will be dealt with, with the utmost severity and ended the telecast promising every member of the Triad syndicate that the Vice Squad will find them and stop them by any means necessary.
=== Vice Squad, War Against the Triads-25 ===
Wanting to help Dorai in his war against the Triads, Yuē shū yà transfers to his master's Vice Squad unit along with Inspector Bill and Inspector Kim. Dorai assigns Yuē shū yà and Kim as partners and over the next few months the duo were able to arrest several key members from every Triad clan including the Sun Yee On, which is the largest Triad organization in Hong Kong. Yuē shū yà and Kim had caught a big break when a former Royal Hong Kong police officer, Anthony Chung, who had become a member of Sun Yee On, asked the police for protection. He identified a man named Heung Wah-yim as the leader of the Sun Yee On Triads and this led to Yuē shū yà and Kim arresting eleven members of the Triad. Whilst searching Heung Wah-yim's law office they found a list of 900 numbered names which appeared to be the membership roster of Sun Yee On. Together the duo arrested each name on that list in what was claimed to be the biggest bust in Hong Kong history. Soon Heung Wah-yim was brought to trial, along with the rest of his accomplices who all pleaded guilty. Heung Wah-yim professed his innocence throughout the trial, claiming to be the president of a local chapter of the Lions Club and that the list found in his office consisted of potential donors. Nonetheless Chung and another former member were the main prosecution witnesses which helped disprove Heung Wah-yim's words. Ultimately the jury found Heung Wah-yim guilty and was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison along with 100 other members of the Sun Yee On as the police lacked sufficient evidence to hold all 900 alleged members who were forced to be released. However, with the list still in police custody, Dorai orders all the names to continue to be surveyed reasoning that someone is bound to slip up and that he wants the Vice Squad to be there when they do.
=== Super Cop ===
Following the record breaking Sun Yee On bust and Heung Wah-yim's sentencing, the media began labeling Yuē shū yà as a Super Cop sighting his exploits in the Glass Story and the Extortion Story of the Century as further proof of their claims. Word soon reached the Mainland of China of the Hong Kong Super Cop and they requested Dorai temporarily assign Yuē shū yà to an international case headed by Interpol. At first Dorai is extremely reluctant sighting his lack of trust with Interpol, but Inspector Bill reassures him that Yuē shū yà  can take care of himself and has in fact proven such a notion time and time again. This temporarily quells Dorai's uneasiness as he suggests to Bill that he should take up a career in politics since he's so good with words, to which they both laugh until Dorai regains his feelings of doubt leading Yuē shū yà to enter the room having heard most of the conversation outside. Yuē shū yà pleads his case and ask Dorai if he can go on the assignment confidently promising that he will succeed. As Dorai looks at the now 25 year old Yuē shū yà he starts reminiscing, remembering the 15 year old boy he saved who was now a bold and confident man. Believing in his former pupil, Dorai finally agrees to let him join the case, to which Yuē shū yà hugs and thanks Dorai and Bill. Once home, Yuē shū yà decides to tell May that he will be going away for a few weeks in order to help the academy with police training, not wanting May to worry while on his dangerous undercover assignment. A few days later, Yuē shū yà heads to the mainland, where he is introduced to the military police force's Interpol director, Jessica Yang, who briefs him on his assignment. The target of the mission is a Triad Dragon Master named Chaibat who heads the Shui Fong Triads, one of Hong Kong's most active triad groups which runs extortion operations, loan sharking, narcotics and the control of nightclubs, mahjong dens and massage parlors. According to police intel, Chaibat's turf extends across Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po, and in order to infiltrate Chaibat's organization, the plan is to get close to his younger brother, Panther, who is being held in a Chinese prison labor camp. Yuē shū yà, posing as a petty criminal, is able to help Panther escape with the aid of the Chinese military police, who eliminate Panther's men in the prison. Grateful Panther invites Yuē shū yà to go with him to Hong Kong and join the Shui Fong. Panther soon meets up with some of his other men, and vouches for Yuē shū yà. The group then head for Hong Kong. On the way, they pass through Yuē shū yà's supposed home village, and Panther insists that Yuē shū yà visit his family there. He does not actually know anyone in the village, but is pleasantly relieved to be greeted by undercover police posing as his family, with Yang as his sister and Bill as his mother. However, things become sticky when the local police attempt to arrest Panther and Yuē shū yà in a restaurant, but Yuē shū yà, Panther, and Yang escape after a big fight, which concludes with the Chinese military police helping them fake Yang's murder of a policeman. Which confirms Panther's trust in them. In Hong Kong, Yuē shū yà, Yang and Panther go to Chaibat's luxurious hide out. There the two succeed in winning Chaibat's trust leading Chaibat to take them with him to a big opium grower's fortified compound in the Golden Triangle of Thailand, for a meeting of big-time heroin traffickers. During the meeting, the Shui Fong attack from outside while Yuē shū yà and Yang protect him inside. In a huge gun battle, the Shui Fong kill the rival traffickers and their guards, and smash up the compound. The grower survives, but will now sell only to Chaibat at Chaibat's price. The group then head to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where Chaibat's wife is being held in prison, and is facing the death penalty. However, Chaibat needs to keep her alive because she knows the secret codes to his Swiss bank account, and she will not reveal them to him unless freed. Once in Kuala Lumpur, Chaibat informs the Shui Fong, now including Yuē shū yà and Yang, that they are to stage a jailbreak. However, more difficulties soon arise when Yuē shū yà happens to run into May at a Malaysian resort hotel. Yuē shū yà evades May at first, but she sees him at the luxurious hotel where Chaibat and the Shui Fong are staying, with the beautiful Yang, and confronts him in a jealous rage. This nearly blows Yuē shū yà's cover, but Panther is persuaded that May is angry because Yuē shū yà tried to proposition her as a prostitute. Later, Yuē shū yà gets May alone and explains the situation, and she finally calms down. At one point, May even manages to keep Yuē shū yà from inadvertently blowing his own cover. But then, in an elevator, May tells a friend about Yuē shū yà, and is overheard by one of Panther's men. Leading Chaibat to take May hostage, and force Yuē shū yà and Yang – their cover now blown – to help free Chen. Chaibat's scheme is successful, and May is released, as per their agreement. However, the exchange turns sour when Chaibat pushes May from his helicopter. Furious, Yuē shū yà and Yang refuse to let Chaibat and his men escape. Yuē shū yà and Yang pursue Chaibat and the Shui Fong over the roads and rooftops where Yuē shū yà and Yang defeat Panther and his partner respectively before Yuē shū yà takes off with Chaibat's helicopter grasping on to the rescue ladder, Chaibat had originally sent down for Panther. As Yuē shū yà continues to pursue Chaibat over the skies of Kuala Lumpur, Yang commandeers a motorcycle to help give chase. The two eventually reunite aboard a speeding train when Yuē shū yà gets the ladder locked on to the train making the helicopter, unable to ascend and buying enough time for Yang to land her motorcycle onto the locomotive. In the ensuing fight, Chaibat is killed after his helicopter collides into a tunnel and lands on him. Yang and Yuē shū yà then succeed in apprehending Chaibat's wife who, decides to tell Yang and Yuē shū yà the password to Chaibat's bank account. Leading the two partners to argue whether Hong Kong or China will get the money. However it would be neither China or Hong Kong who would receive the money as it would be sent to the United Kingdom sighting their governing of Hong Kong. Nonetheless with Chaibat's death and Panther's capture,Yuē shū yà successfully shut down the Shui Fong Triad organization something Dorai cared much more about than the money the British government received. For Yuē shū yà's involvement with the successful case, he is subsequently promoted to Chief Inspector. 
=== The Kidnapping of Wong Yat Fei ===
In his first case as Chief Inspector, Yuē shū yà and Kim would shut down the Hong Kong bases of the Luen Kung Lok which ran illegal gambling clubs, extortion, protection rackets and other crimes. A month later, after an especially traumatic shoot-out with some armed thugs following an attempted robbery, Yuē shū yà becomes guilt-ridden over his killing of Kim's younger brother. He is absolved of wrong-doing by the force, however, and assigned to a police psychologist who recommends that he take some time off to recuperate. Disdaining this advice he goes back to work and is immediately assigned a case involving a wealthy Hong Kong real estate mogul, named Wong Yat Fei, who fears that there is a plot to kidnap him. Due to Wong Yat Fei's prior kidnapping he proves to be nothing more than a paranoid jerk with dubious ethics to Yuē shū yà. However, despite Yuē shū yà's best efforts, Wong Yat Fei and his wife are soon kidnapped, with one policeman being killed and another critically injured in the resultant car chase. Due to the critical injury of his fellow officer, Yuē shū yà decides to attend to the officer driving with the him  to the nearest hospital on the officer's motorcycle before passing out in the hospital due to his own injuries sustained during the car chase. Meanwhile the wife of Wong Yat Fei is soon released and the demand of transferring 60 million dollars for Wong's safe release is brought to the police the next day with the stipulation being that in order to source vital clues about the destination of Wong Yat Fei his wife would have to first hand over the money to various international bank accounts. With Wong Yat Fei now being held for ransom, Inspector Yuē shū yà is put in charge of a task force to recover him. During the team meeting Yuē shū yà is introduced to Detective Hung, an esteemed but cynical police veteran who solved Wong Yat Fei's first kidnapping, by Dorai who tells Yuē shū yà that Hung has volunteered to help with the investigation. The cops do a great job of surveillance on the wife and do everything they need to do to catch the criminals, but still manage to come up short of finding Mr. Wong, although the team does manage to find a suspect who points them in the direction of Simon Ting the head of the United Bamboo Gang located in Taipei. Yuē shū yà then takes it upon himself to try and apprehend Ting telling Dorai that he will go to Taiwan. However, Dorai is apprehensive about sending Yuē shū yà alone since Kim is on active leave, to which Hung volunteers to be Yuē shū yà's partner in order to keep the investigation going. When the duo land they are met with Taiwanese police officers who request that the two stay out of their raid on the United Bamboo Gang. Hung is more than willing to agree with the Taiwan Officers' request, but Yuē shū yà convinces Hung that they should do otherwise. The duo then head for Ting's place while the Taiwanese police officers are conducting their raid on Ting's hideout. This leads to Yuē shū yà and Hung being separated while in pursuit of Ting who flees on the roof tops of Taipei. During the chase, Yuē shū yà takes an Uzi sub machine gun from a fallen Taiwan officer and fires it at Ting's thugs after the latter spark a rooftop shootout, which ends in the demolition of a building and Yuē shū yà still in hot prsuit. Yuē shū yà follows Ting and his men to the upper floor of a nearby building and proceeds to defeat his men and all but apprehend ting before he is hit from behind and caught within an upper hanging net. During the scuffle with Tings men, Hung catches up to Yuē shū yà who immediately asks him to capture Ting. When Yuē shū yà finally frees himself, he catches up with Hung and spots Hung talking to Ting, as if the two knew each other despite the fact that Hung had previously told Yuē shū yà that he had never seen him, however before more could be made of this, Hung killed Ting in self-defense, with Ting's last words echoing in Yuē shū yà's head: I'll tell them everything. Following Ting's death, the two Hong Kong officers are arrested by the Taiwanese police. During Yuē shū yà's interrogation, Yuē shū yà revealed as little as possible to the local authorities as he spent his time deep in his thoughts as it became more and more apparent to him that Hung may be a double-agent with ulterior motives in the exchange of the kidnapped victim. Once back in Hong Kong Yuē shū yà decides to piece together the clues and secretly conducts research on the background of the decorated policeman hoping to reveal an undercover plot which could be disastrous for both the kidnapped victim and police alike. However, the relentlessly driven Yuē shū yà soon finds himself in a game of cat and mouse with detective Hung as the wily veteran attempts to thwart his every move.  As he continues to hunt down suspects and gets closer to solving the case, Yuē shū yà deduces that Hung had joined several powerful conglomerates from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan in a plot to kidnap Wong Yat Fei, but had unverifiable proof of such claims, leading to the two officers coming to a standstill until Dorai reveals that their has been a a break in the case as the coast guard believe that they have found a suspicious freighter ship that might be being used to house Wong Yat Fei. While investigating the ship, Yuē shū yà reveals that he has deduces Hung's involvement and after getting Hung to confess, attempts to arrest him. However, Hung tries to kill Yuē shū yà getting the jump on him after Yuē shū yà saves him from falling, but nonetheless Yuē shū yà survives and purses Hung, despite Dorai's pleads that Yuē shū yà go to the hospital for his injures. Despite Yuē shū yà's best efforts, he is unable to stop Mrs. Wong from transferring the rest of the money to Hung's account, but he is not deterred in stopping Hung as he uses the recites that he found aboard the freighter to locate Hung's hidden base of operations in Kowloon Palace. After a brief stakeout Yuē shū yà runs into Hung's co-conspirators and a street brawl ensues, with Yuē shū yà defeating Hung's men in unarmed combat until one of Hung's men shoot a gas line which sets off a chain of explosions around Kowloon. With Kowloon going up in flames, Yuē shū yà begins evacuating civilians from the doomed city while still searching the buildings for Hung. When Yuē shū yà finally corners Hung he defeats his remaining men and savagely beat and berate Hung, demanding to know Wong Yat Fei's location. Hung refuses to talk and is put under arrest by Yuē shū yà, however, Yuē shū yà is forced to let Hung go in order to save a child left behind in the burning building. Yuē shū yà manages to save the boy but is stopped by the unsuccessful Hung who was pinned by rubble during his attempted escape. Yuē shū yà tries  his hardest to save Hung, but ultimately is forced to leave Hung at his request that the boy should be saved instead. Before he dies, Hung tells Yuē shū yà where Wong is being hidden and Yuē shū yà barely makes it out of Kowloon before the city is destroyed. Yuē shū yà then tells Dorai Wong Yat Fei's whereabouts and Wong is rescued by the police. Later that night, Yuē shū yà and Dorai attend a secret exchange where Wong is released into his wife's custody. Wong Yat-fei's wife thanks Yuē shū yà, and as the two leave Hong Kong wanting to start new lives in a foreign country, Yuē shū yà burns Wong's wallet and any evidence of his survival. 
=== War Against Jun Tao ===
A week later Kim returns to the force and strongly punches Yuē shū yà in the face, before telling him I forgive you and admits that his brother should have known better, before he breaks down crying, leading Yuē shū yà to console his friend while crying also. Meanwhile, the Vice Squad's battle against Hong Kong's underworld is shaken up, by the arrival of a new player in town known only as Jun Tao. With Yuē shū yà and the rest of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force's Vice Squad thinning out the herd of Hong Kong's Triads considerably, the mysterious Jun Tao took the opportunity to use his influence to unite the remaining Triads into the largest Triad organization the world had ever known; challenging the police to open war. Forcing the relentlessly driven Yuē shū yà to lead his fellow officers in the battle against the seemingly unending wave of crime in the city. Over the course of several months Yuē shū yà, Kim and the Vice Squad manage to shrink the Jun Tao Triad's numbers apprehending a few hundred but prove to be unable to find out Jun Tao's identity although they are able to identify that a man named Sang is Jun Tao's second in command or 438 meaning the "Deputy Dragon Master" in Triad code. Yuē shū yà and Sang would engage each other in combat several times with neither getting the upper hand on the other due to various circumstances. Due to Yuē shū yà's workaholic nature, he soon became obsessed with shutting down Jun Tao resulting in him dedicating all his time and effort to his attempt to locate Jun Tao, which lead to May feeling neglected resulting in her getting fed up and dumping him in favor of Yuē shū yà's assistant. Ironically, the assistant acted as a liaison for Yuē shū yà whenever she wanted to get in touch with him at work. Although sad at his loss of May, Yuē shū yà also saw this as what was best for both of them as May would no longer be in danger from his powerful enemies and he was finally free to put forth his true maximum effort without worrying about making time for his work and May. Not long after, Dorai suspects that Ricky Tan plans on fleeing Hong Kong following his failed coup against Jun Tao and that the Snakehead organization, known for bribery, hostage taking, identity document forgery, illegal immigration, money laundering, murder and most of all people smuggling, were going to smuggling him out. Both Kim and Yuē shū yà were assigned by Dorai to investigate the "Snakehead" gang wanting to find Ricky Tan, before he disappears again. However, Yuē shū yà declined to go as he finally got a tip on Jun Tao's whereabouts and believed stopping Jun Tao was more important than Ricky Tan. Dorai and Yuē shū yà begin to argue about the importance of the cases until Kim volunteers to follow the Snakeheads to Thailand, marking the first time Yuē shū yà and Kim would be sent on separate cases since Wong Yat Fei's kidnapping. Yuē shū yà leads a raid at a shipping bar wharf, hoping to finally put an end to the vicious crime lord, but is disappointed to find only Sang and other henchmen in Jun Tao's stead. After covertly defeating several of Jun Tao's men, Yuē shū yà catches Sang at gunpoint, demanding to know where Jun Tao is. However, Sang replies that Jun Tao is everywhere before challenging Yuē shū yà to a fight. Yuē shū yà admits that he is tired of fighting him and orders him to surrender. Sang instead refuses, challenging Yuē shū yà to shoot him, with Yuē shū yà still hesitating due to Kim's brother's death. As he again tells Yuē shū yà to shoot him, Sang pushes a henchman towards him and escapes. Yuē shū yà easily subdues the man and chases after Sang, who manages to escape on a boat. Despite his tip not panning out, Yuē shū yà and his team manage to uncover what Jun Tao has been after all this time; a priceless collection of ancient Chinese artifacts. Yuē shū yà then goes to visit Uncle Bill, now the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China following a recent election earlier that day. Yuē shū yà informs Bill at his victory party that he managed to reclaim artifacts from five thousand years of China's history, which he then presents as a farewell victory to both Bill and the British Commander Thomas Griffin who is departing due to The United Kingdom's transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong. The party then toast to the last day of British rule in Hong Kong and Yuē shū yà's recovery of the artifacts. After Yuē shū yà leaves, Bill rejoices that this is the kind of legacy he dreamed about and Griffin then toasts to Hong Kong. After the party, Yuē shū yà and Bill discuss Bill's new status as Consul Han. He is both shocked and saddened to learn that due to his new political position, Bill will have to move to Los Angeles, California and leave Hong Kong immediately. Their conversation is soon interrupted when Bill gets a phone call with deviating information, that he relays to Yuē shū yà. Bill tells him that Kim has been killed on his return flight from Thailand while saving an American Kickboxer's life from an hired assassin. The news rocks Yuē shū yà down to his very core as he just sits in his chair dazed and confused for an hour before composing himself and heads home. As he leaves Bill's house, her runs into Bill's 11 year old daughter, Soo Yung. Soo Yung is distraught over finding out that she will be forced to move to America with her father and is especially saddened to leave her uncle Yuē shū yà who had begun to train her in self-defense. Soo Yung asks Yuē shū yà if he will be coming with them to which he tells her that he can't, making her immediately punch Yuē shū yà before asking him why he would not go with them to America. Yuē shū yà seeing how sad the little girl is decides to put on a brave face and tells her that he was trying to find the right time. Soo Yung angrily replies "When? After I left?" before punching him again. He stops her and tells her that he will miss her very much saying that she is his best student and that her mother would've been proud. When Yuē shū yà asks if she will practice her kicks and eye gouges, Soo Yung nods and tells him that she won't have any friends in America. To which he promises her that everything will be okay, before pulling out a necklace with a Chinese symbol and giving it to her telling her that he had bought it for her birthday but that he wanted to give it to her now. He then puts the necklace around Soo Yung's neck as she thanks him, smiling. Yuē shū yà tells her not to worry as America is "a very friendly place". The two hug for the last time before he finally heads home. With Kim dead, Yuē shū yà decides to take a momentary leave of absence in memory of his fallen friend.
==== The Second King of Ironfist Tournament ====
During his time of leave, Yuē shū yà is invited to participate in the 2nd King of Iron Fist Tournament hosted by a major Japanese conglomerate known as the Mishima Zaibatsu, but ultimately declines sighting his mourning. However, Hong Kong's underworld would soon begin to erupt as Jun Tao mysteriously disappears. The once united Triad clans that fought under Jun Tao's banner begin to separate and start a mad scramble to become Hong Kong's top triad force. Due to a number of recent killings in Yuē shū yà's absence of both police officers and Triads alike, Yuē shū yà is quickly called back to investigate, which leads him to discover a third parties involvement; the Mishima Zaibatsu. Yuē shū yà surmises that the Mishima Zaibatsu must want to replace the Jun Tao Triads as Hong Kong's top criminal empire. To make matters worse, the Mishima Zaibatsu's boss Kazuya Mishima has employed Bruce Irvin, the American Kickboxer Kim saved during the doomed flight. Wanting to further his inquiry, Yuē shū yà decides to enter the tournament and vowed to track down the center of the Zaibatsu's operations and retrieve Bruce, wanting to find out exactly what happened that flight. During the first round of the King of Iron Fist tournament Yuē shū yà faced Roger, a genetically engineered Kangaroo with the ability to fight as it's DNA was mixed with a world class boxer, in the tournament's first match. Yuē shū yà was shocked to see that he was fighting an animal, let alone a Kangaroo with boxing gloves, and was further taken aback by Roger's fighting prowess. Although initially offset, Yuē shū yà ultimately regrouped and soundly defeated the modified Kangaroo with a powerful Tornado Kick; advancing to the next round of the tournament. As fate would have it, Yuē shū yà's opponent for the second round was none other than Bruce Irvin. Due to his extensive research on Bruce, Yuē shū yà knew how deadly and dangerous the Kickboxer was as Bruce was a practitioner of Muay Thai and held the world light-heavy weight and heavyweight championships for the World Kickboxing Association, World Kickboxing Council, International Sport Kickboxing Association and other kickboxing promotions. Although Yuē shū yà needed to fight Bruce in order to get some information about the plane crash, he was honestly excited about the prospect of fighting such a worthy opponent wishing the two could have met in the ring under different circumstances. As the two combatants entered the arena, Yuē shū yà wasted no time in beginning his investigation, interrogating Bruce as to the events of what happened to his partner in Thailand. Bruce simply tells him that he has no idea what Yuē shū yà is talking about and gets into his famed Muay Thai stance. Yuē shū yà warns Bruce that he will not ask him a second time, to which Bruce questions if they're going to talk all night or fight as the Mishima Zaibatsu's current leader, Kazuya Mishima, orders them to begin. As the match starts, Bruce feels out his opponent with a front kick to low kick combination which is blocked and returned with Yuē shū yà's high and low kicks. Bruce manages to evade the impact of the blows in a similar fashion to Yuē shū yà and fakes his famed Leg Bazooka to open Yuē shū yà up for his triple knee combo. Yuē shū yà is floored by this assault but manages to instantly rise to his feet and rushes over to Bruce, who tries a jumping knee attack which is dodged by Yuē shū yà's rave spin, leaving Bruce open for his sweeping backfist, followed by a series of Tornado Kicks. To Yuē shū yà's surprise Bruce is not finished and throws a quick spin kick, which is blocked ad returned with another Tornado Kick. However, Bruce is ready for the blow and hits him with a side step elbow, followed by a triple elbow assault that ens with Bruce grabbing Yuē shū yà in the Muay Thai Plum and sending him crashing with a big knee. Although hurt, Yuē shū yà staggers to his feet telling Bruce This fight isn't over until I find out what happened that night!. As the two combatants slowly approach each other,  Bruce attacks first with his Foot Bazooka but it is hooked by Yuē shū yà who executes a spinning back blow accompanied by a clean leg sweep. Almost as quick as Bruce had fallen he sprang back up with a jumping knee and a triple spin kick, all of which were blocked leaving Bruce open for a ninestring combo. After a few seconds of getting reacquainted with the ground Bruce slowly rises to his feet and heads toward Yuē shū yà. As the injured Bruce approaches, Yuē shū yà smugly asks if he's ready to talk infuriating Bruce who unleashes his Bruce Explosion followed by his patented Bruce Special. In the aftermath of the attack, Yuē shū yà is face down in defeat, prompting Bruce to celebrate. However, with Bruce distracted, Yuē shū yà reveals that he was playing dead, rising to his feet and executing a Flit-Flip-Flop jumping over Bruce and landing in front him in order to unload with his Rush Combo, rendering Bruce unconscious. With Bruce unable to continue, Yuē shū yà wins the match and places Bruce under arrest. After cuffing Bruce,  Yuē shū yà looks to Kazyua with disdain promising to himself and his fallen officers that he will get justice for the Zaibatsu's involvement in the murder of several Hong Kong officers. Kazuya merely smiles at Yuē shū yà's glare and dismisses Yuē shū yà in order to start the next match. Needing to win the tournament in order to face Kazuya and similarly place him under arrest, Yuē shū yà left the cuffed and unconscious Bruce to the care of a legendary Chinese fighter named Wang Jinrei, Yuē shū yà ha had read a lot about Jinrei's time as the leader of the Righteous and Harmonious Fists, during the Boxer Rebellion, when he worked at the historical museum. Yuē shū yà was truly honnored to meet Jinrei and grateful to the folk hero for being willing to watch his suspect while he fought in his upcoming match. In the third round of the tournament, Yuē shū yà would go up against the former owner of the Mishima Zaibatsu and Kazuya's father, Heihachi Mishima. Heihachi starts the bout with a Flash Punch Combo that gives Yuē shū yà barely enough time to evade and counter with a Hook and Spinning Back Blow landing the first attack of the match. Heihachi nevertheless remains unfazed and smiles at his opponents speed, remarking that he had not fought someone this quick since facing Forrest Masters in the final round of the first King of Ironfist. Yuē shū yà sarcastically remarks that he is flattered by Heihachi's approval of his skill and tells him to prepare for the oncoming assault unleashing his devastating Rush Combo that defeated Bruce prior. However, Heihachi managed to block or doge most of his attacks countering with a leaping side kick that knocks Yuē shū yà to the floor, albeit temporarily. Once standing Yuē shū yà is once again put on the ground thanks to Heihachi's Demon Uppercut followed by his Tsunami Kicks. As blood pours out of his mouth, Yuē shū yà sweeps the legs out from under a celebrating Mishima. With Yuē shū yà now over Heihachi, he signals for his opponent to get up. Heihachi laughs and rises, with the two resuming their starting stances. After a few back and forth exchanges, Yuē shū yà is rocked to his core by Heihachi's Heavy Power Punch. However, Yuē shū yà uses his dazed state to his advantage by seamlessly assuming his drunken master stance throwing Heihachi off and opening him up for Yuē shū yà's Razor Rush stunning and flooring Heihachi. Believing Heihachi to be finished Yuē shū yà relents exhausted from his opponents powerful blows. However before the match could be called, Heihachi rises to his feet laughing sadistically as electricity emulates off of his body and surges in his fist. Heihachi thanks Yuē shū yà for his worthy challenge gleefully stating that he was now fully ready to kill his son. Yuē shū yà is taken aback by not only this statement but also the overwhelming power Heihachi posses, something that far exceeded his current state. Never one to back down, Yuē shū yà channels his inner Qigong trying to match Heihachi in power, although still significantly weaker. Believing his "Forbidden Techniques" might still be enough to win the bout, he charges ahead at the seemingly omnipotent Heihachi, who in turn finishes their match with a powerful ten string combo, leaving Yuē shū yà unable to continue the match and eliminated from the King of Ironfist Tournament. Once recuperated from his loss, an exasperated Yuē shū yà heads into the waiting room where he thanks Wang Jinrei for keeping an eye on Bruce. Wang tells him that it was no trouble and that he was very impressed by his performance against such a skilled opponent as Heihachi, especially in Yuē shū yà's use of Qigong; stating that he hadn't met a fellow user in quite some decades. Wang then asked Yuē shū yà who taught him the ancient technique, wondering if he knew his master. Yuē shū yà, to Wang's surprise, confessed that he had no true master as he learned of the technique through his brief time as a historian reading recovered scrolls, and that he frequently visited the museum when he began to teach himself the art and philosophy, even going so far as to copy the text of the scrolls down in a journal; a process he would repeat each day. Wang is astonished by how relatively easy Yuē shū yà learned Qigon but notes that Yuē shū yà's usage of the technique is flawed. Yuē shū yà concurs with the master admitting that he had personally forbidden himself from using Qigon, under the strict condition of its use in the protection of someone or something precious to him, a vow he broke during his fight. Wang and Yuē shū yà then discuss the life shorting aspects of Qigon's excessive use, leading to Wang taking Yuē shū yà aback by revealing that he has been using Qigon for the last 70 years, something Yuē shū yà had previously thought impossible. Before Yuē shū yà could ask how this was possible, Wang informed him of an ancient scroll written by the legendary Yue Fei, a Han Chinese military general who lived during the Southern Song dynasty. Yue Fei was a patriot and national folk hero in China rumored to have possessed supernatural power. Wang tells Yuē shū yà that the scroll holds the teachings of a Buddhist hermit who taught Yue Fei the Emei Dapeng Qigong style; the source of his legendary strength and martial arts abilities. Yuē shū yà looks doubtful until Wang assures him that the scroll is also the source of both his longevity and his own legendary power. As Bruce begins to awaken, Wang tells Yuē shū yà to tend to his suspect, promising to pass down the scroll to him. With Wang Jinrei now gone, Yuē shū yà turns his attention to Bruce once again interrogating him. To Yuē shū yà's surprise and satisfaction, Bruce is much more compliant in answering the Chief Inspector's questions regarding his whereabouts the night of the plane crash. Unfortunately, Bruce truly had no idea what happen that night as he suffered head trauma from the impact of the crash which left him with little to no recollection of his own past. Finally believing the former Kickboxing champion, Yuē shū yà decides to let him go and thanks him for not only the information but also the fight. Following the conversation with Bruce, Yuē shū yà leaves the tournament before it's conclusion wanting to get home as soon as possible.
=== The Abduction of Soo Yung-26 ===
Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Yuē shū yà went to visit the coroner’s office to get the report on Kim's death. The coroner informs Yuē shū yà that from his investigation, he found that the assassin was killed first by Kim's service revolver and that Kim died upon impact of the crash, painless and quick. Although still heartbroken Yuē shū yà is relived that Kim died doing what he loved to do, saving people. Yuē shū yà later gets a call from a panicked Bill, who tells him that Soo Yung has been kidnapped and asks him to come to America in order to help with the investigation. That night Yuē shū yà boards a flight for Los Angeles and arrives the next day in California. Unbeknownst to Bill or Yuē shū yà, the FBI is afraid that the incompetence, or success, of Yuē shū yà during the investigation would result in international embarrassment for them and decide to pawn him off on the LAPD just to keep him out of their way. The arrogant, reckless and loudmouthed detective, James Carter is tricked into doing this but Carter makes a plan to solve the case himself when he finds out that he has been given a mundane task as punishment for botching a sting operation. Carter meets Yuē shū yà at Los Angeles International Airport and proceeds to take him on a sightseeing tour of LA, simultaneously keeping Yuē shū yà away from the embassy and contacting one of his underworld informants about the kidnapping. The two then head toward Freeway Luke Ross, the head of a nationwide drug enterprise that is involved in selling weapons. Carter believes that they will be able to find him at a local bar, Luke is known to visit. Carter and Yuē shū yà come to the bar and confront him in the back room. Carter pulls out his revolver and acts aggressively towards Luke and his men and asks about the little girl. Luke says he doesn't know anything about a little girl. Carter asks Yuē shū yà to leave the room and wait outside in the bar area while he takes care of this situation. Once Yuē shū yà leaves the room, Carter puts down his gun and laughs. He hugs Luke and embraces him as they are really cousins with Carter telling him that he was just acting in front of Yuē shū yà. He asks Luke if he knows about someone who has recently bought lots of weapons. Carter reminds Luke that he gives a blind eye to his criminal activity because of their relationship and so he expects Luke to help him. Luke reveals that he has heard on the street about a guy from Hong Kong buying a lot of guns and explosives. But he does not know his name as the guy has not bought from him. Meanwhile, Yuē shū yà unintentionally starts a fight with the bartender and several patrons. He manages to beat them all and then goes to the backroom where Carter is. Upon this Carter grabs Luke's collar to resume his acting from before. As Carter and Yuē shū yà leave, Carter secretly thanks Luke and tells him that he'll see him at church after this. With no more leads to go on, Carter decides to stop by a local convince store to grab something to eat, although Yuē shū yà has become increasingly frustrated with him, believing that Carter has not been taking his request to go to the Chinese Consulate seriously. Seeing the angered Yuē shū yà, Carter promises him that he'll take him wherever he wants to go, before handcuffing him to the steering wheel and entering the store. Once Carter leaves, Yuē shū yà takes this time to escape, removing the steering wheel with him. Yuē shū yà then finally makes his way to the Chinese Consulate, where an anxious Bill and a group of FBI agents are awaiting news about his daughter. When two FBI agents who are guarding the front gate think that Yuē shū yà is an intruder, he subdues them, causing the remaining agents to surround the house, with Agent Dan Whitney ordering Bill to hide on the second floor. Yuē shū yà comes in through the window and subdues the agents until Bill gets up and sees that Yuē shū yà was the supposed intruder. Agent-in-charge Warren Russ and his agents hear the noise and draw at the door with their guns ready. Bill opens it and assures Russ that there has been a misunderstanding. Bill then introduces Russ to Yuē shū yà, who immediately apologizes for being late and gives Whitney back his gun. Hours later, Carter finally arrives at the Chinese Consulate and is introduced to Bill with Yuē shū yà explaining that he is very passionate about finding his daughter. Bill then shakes Carter's hand saying that he has his gratitude. Afterward, while being reprimanded by Russ, Carter accidentally involves himself in a phone conversation with Sang, where he arranges a ransom drop of $50 million in a couple of hours. When the FBI arrive at the agreed drop point at 620 South Broadway Downtown, Russ sends a squad of SWAT teams to secure the building. Yuē shū yà, knowing how vacant and dark the building is suspects an ambush and begs Russ to call off his men, but Russ and Whitney arrogantly ignored him, sending several agents go up to the top floor to arrest Sang, only to find a ringing phone. When they pick it up to answer, a bomb is detonated, killing the agents. Sang then came out of a hiding place and Yuē shū yà spots him and immediately chases him to an alley, where Sang manages to climb up to a building. He then attacked Yuē shū yà with an axe, but fled as soon as he heard Carter calling for Yuē shū yà. Sang continued to flee and even threw the axe which narrowly misses Yuē shū yà and hits the wall next to Carter. Sang then nearly fell through a gap in the bridge of the building, dropping a remote detonator in the process. When Yuē shū yà tried to follow he gets his foot stuck while picking up the detonator. Carter catches up to him only for them to fall through the bridge and on to the ground. A car nearly hits them but they move out of the way. Carter gets up and shoots at the back window of the car, which Sang escapes in. Carter's colleague, LAPD bomb expert Tania Johnson, helps them trace the detonator to Clive, a man previously arrested by Carter. Later Yuē shū yà and Carter visit Clive at the county jail where Carter tries to interrogate him into revealing where Sang's remote for the C4 came from. Clive tells him that he doesn't know anything about it. Carter tries to hand him the remote but Clive refuses to touch it thinking that Carter would set him up again. Clive tries to walk away from Carter but Yuē shū yà blocks his way. When Clive challenges him, Yuē shū yà demands for him to give him the name of the man who gave Sang the remote but Clive refuses until he pulls out the picture of Soo Yung and tells him that she's only eleven years old and doesn't want her to die. He then shouts at him that he doesn't care about Carter or about him, he cares about Soo Yung and again demands the name. Clive then reveals that the remote came from Jun Tao, but he's never seen him. Yuē shū yà asks him where he could find him and Clive reveals that Jun Tao hides out at the Foo Chow restaurant in Chinatown. Before Clive goes back to his cell he warns Yuē shū yà to get rid of Carter or he's gonna get them killed. Yuē shū yà and Carter leave with Carter jokingly telling Clive that he would bring him "some cookies" when he visits next time. During a subsequent stake out while waiting for Sang to arrive at the restaurant the two bond over Edwin Starr's song "War", dancing, kung-fu, and over their respective fathers who were both police legends in their respective countries. Once they spot Sang, Carter goes to the restaurant alone where he sees a surveillance video of Jun Tao carrying Soo Yung into a van. Sang closes the monitor and he and his men menacingly stare down Carter. When asked why there are so quiet, he is pushed forward and a man kicks him. Carter tells the guy that it was childish. He pretend to claims that he's Juntao's half brother but Sang pulls his gun on him. Carter says if he's going to kill him to put the gun down and fight him like a man. Before Carter would fight him another man kick's him in the chin. Carter ask "which one of ya'll kick me?" to which The henchman in front of him replies "me". Carter briefly fights the men before he is kicked over a couch by the same man. While the henchman are checking him Sang approaches Carter and sees the FBI badge on his belt buckle revealing to him that Carter was the man he was on the phone with earlier. He then throws him a hankerchief and tells him to wipe himself off because he's bleeding from his nose. Before Sang leaves he does the cut throat gesture ordering them to kill Carter. Yuē shū yà arrives and enters the room disguised as a waiter from the restaurant. At Carter suggestion earlier he pretends to be with the L.A.P.D. but drops Carter's badge in embarrassment. Yuē shū yà then rescues Carter by fighting the men and are able to escape before the restaurant explodes. The two are soon found by the FBI as they are informed that Sang made arrangements with Bill to take the ransom money to the alley behind the restaurant in exchange for Soo Yung. Sang later phoned the consul, angrily telling him that the ransom has been increased from $50 million to $70 million, and threatened to kill Soo Yung if anything else goes wrong. Disgraced and guilt-ridden, Yuē shū yà and Carter are ordered off the investigation and Bill informs Yuē shū yà that he will be sent back to Hong Kong, Yuē shū yà sadly reveals to him that Jun Tao was behind Soo Yung's kidnapping. Carter enters the room and apologizes for everything claiming that it was all his fault. Bill tells him its a little too late for apologies. Finally realizing Soo Yung safety is more important that his career a desperate Carter refuses to drop the case. He appeals to Johnson for assistance and sneaks on board Yuē shū yà's plane, hoping to persuade Yuē shū yà to help finish the case and stop Jun Tao. Carter tells Yuē shū yà about the death of his father, also a police officer, killed at a routine traffic stop because his partner didn't help him. Yuē shū yà is surprised, as before then, Carter has seemed to care about no one but himself. Carter goes on to confess that because of this incident he's never believed in partners but that over the course of the investigation, Yuē shū yà has proved him wrong. Following this heart to heart, they decide to save Soo Yung together, for Bill. Meanwhile, Griffin visits Bill at his consulate home, embracing him in a hug and apologizing for leaving him an emotional wreck. Griffin and Bill then explained to Russ and Whitney about their history with Jun Tao. Griffin explains for the last year until China was in control of Hong Kong, Jun Tao was the most powerful crime lord in South East Asia. The British tried to close down his operation, but they had failed. Russ asks why Jun Tao would kidnap Soo Yung and Bill explained about how he, Yuē shū yà, and the Hong Kong Police Force had foiled every aspect of Juntao's criminal operation, confiscating millions in weapons and cash and a collection of Chinese arts that was surpassed to the world. Griffin concluded with telling them that Jun Tao then disappeared with no witnesses. When Whitney asked if he really thinks he will kill the girl, Griffin suggests to Bill that he should "pay the money". At the opening of a Chinese art exhibition at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which Bill and Griffin are overseeing, the now $70 million ransom is being delivered. Carter, Yuē shū yà and Johnson enter disguised as guests, where Carter distracts the guests into leaving for safety. This angers the FBI, but also blows Griffin's cover, as Yuē shū yà catches him walking over to a bar and accepting a remote for the detonator from Sang. He and Johnson both conclude that Griffin is Jun Tao because Carter recognizes him from the surveillance tape at the restaurant. Griffin threatens to detonate a bomb vest attached to Soo Yung and demands the money be paid in full in compensation to the loss of the priceless Chinese artifacts he worked so hard to preserve. During the stand-off, however, Carter manages to sneak out and locate Soo Yung. Carter proceeds to take the vest off her, but Soo Yung tells him that she heard them say that the vest will go off if anyone tries to take it off incorrectly. Carter then drives the van into the building and brings the bomb vest within range to kill everyone inside the exhibition. He challenges Griffin to push the detonator, but Griffin hesitates to do so. As Carter demands that he push the button, Griffin orders Sang to deal with Carter. Sang then shoots at Carter causing a gunfight to break out between the FBI and Juntao's thugs. Yuē shū yà and Johnson climb into the back of the van and Johnson manages to get the vest off Soo-Yung, but tells Yuē shū yà that it still can be set off with the remote. Yuē shū yà then takes the vest and pursues Griffin, but is forced to stop several of the Jun Tao Triads in the process. Meanwhile, Griffin goes up to the upstairs control room and shoots the agents up there, including Russ. He then takes the briefcase with the money and leaves. A few moments later, Sang also goes into the control room and starts putting more of the ransom money into another briefcase to take it along with him. Then Russ, who has survived being shot by Griffin, groans in pain, and Sang turns his gun on him. Just as he is about to shoot Russ, he is interrupted by Carter, who tells him that he is alone. Sang then threatens to kill Russ, but Carter tells him to do so, saying that he never liked Russ. Unmoved by this, Sang decides to challenge Carter by 'fighting like men', echoing Carter's words earlier. Carter agrees, but as both men put their guns down as the same time, they bring out their alternative guns to shoot each other. Fortunately, Carter proves to be quicker and shoots Sang in the process, killing him. Carter then lays out a final insult on the deceased Sang by throwing a handkerchief on his corpse, telling him, "Wipe yourself off man. You dead." While Griffin is calling for a helicopter transportation and attempting to escape with the money, Yuē shū yà continues to pursue him calling him "Juntao!" as he does so. As he makes his way to the roof, Yuē shū yà pursues him up several sets of maintenance ladders. He shoots at Yuē shū yà but misses and throws his gun away in frustration after running out of bullets. Yuē shū yà catches him before he could go to the roof, but accidentally looks down. Griffin hits Yuē shū yà with the briefcase three times, but on the fourth try he misses, and both men fall over the railing, with Yuē shū yà holding onto a rafter and Griffin holding onto the bomb vest, which Yuē shū yà is wearing. The money falls out of the case that Griffin was holding. Carter then looks up at the money falling and jokingly says "Thank you, God!" Suddenly, the bomb vest starts falling apart as Griffin is holding onto Yuē shū yà. Griffin holds on until it finally rips, sending Griffin falling to his death into a fountain below, causing Carter to proclaim "Whoo! You know he dead". As Yuē shū yà begins to fall, Carter is able to place a large flag underneath and catch him safely. Bill and Soo Yung are then reunited, and Bill sends Carter and Yuē shū yà on vacation together to Hong Kong as a reward for their actions. Before Carter leaves, Agents Russ and Whitney offer him a position in the FBI, which he "politely" refuses, saying that he will always be loyal to the LAPD. On the plane, Carter shows off a couple of lines of Chinese to Yuē shū yà, who is very impressed, as he had no idea Carter spoke Chinese. When Carter asks about the flight, Yuē shū yà tells him that it may take fifteen hours, causing Carter to become surprised, and then he immediately requests a new seat as soon as Yuē shū yà starts singing War.
=== The Vacation ===
During the first week of their vacation, however, Hong Kong would be hit with an unprecedented crime wave. Although previously promising to show Carter a good time, Yuē shū yà's workaholic nature gets the best of him as he begins to take new cases that desperately need his attention, continually derailing Carter's plans of relaxation. On one of these such cases Yuē shū yà is assigned to track down the Tuen Mun Rapist, Lam Kwok-wai, who was wanted for the nine rapes and three murders of local women in the Tuen Mun borough of Hong Kong. Although Carter reiterates that he would much rather do anything else than work on his vacation, he continues to help Yuē shū yà in his investigation, knowing that he wouldn't be able to enjoy his sabbatical with a rapist on the loose. Luckily for them, Lam's tenth and last rape was the strangest. He attacked and raped a 21-year-old woman in Hunghom's Mei King Street. He beat her face, kicked her and raped her on a wooden cart in a side street. Then suddenly, in the middle of it all, he stopped and started talking to her. Petrified, the girl stood, wiped the blood from her face and conversed back to him hoping not to aggravate her attacker. They walked along the road together and shared a cigarette. Then Lam turned to the girl he had just beaten and raped and said: "Will you be my girlfriend?" The girl said yes trying anything to keep his mood from swinging violently. A date was arranged at the UA Whampoa cinema the next evening. "Please be there," said Lam. "I'm a mess now in this old T-shirt and jeans but I promise I will be smart tomorrow. You'll be proud of me." When she got home the woman told her mother-in-law she had been raped, but her mother-in-law told her to forget about it. The following afternoon she told her brother, a Correctional Services officer, who took her to the police to make the report. When the woman told them this story both Yuē shū yà and Carter realize that Lam is mentally unstable and capable of anything. Together they devise a plan with a full strike team in force but due to the ever increasing crime wave and a sudden series of bank robberies, Yuē shū yà's team became involved in several other operations leaving only him and Carter to handle the sting. Despite the set back, everything was arranged: if Lam turned up the woman would scratch her head and they would grab him. At 8.30 pm Lam sidled up the polished marble floor of the Whampoa Ship to the girl he had raped and beaten less than a day before. He wore a creased white shirt, ironed black dress trousers and black all-leather shoes. The woman welcomed him and scratched her head violently, but nothing happened. She continued to scratch more but there was still nothing, as Yuē shū yà and Carter had gotten into a heated argument over the validity of Yuē shū yà's previous engagement to Lucy Liu, who was now a Primetime Emmy Award Nominated actress in America and one of Carter's celebrity crushes. Finally the woman screamed out, alerting them to her immanent danger, and they move in on Lam who instantly ran for it. While pursing Lam on foot, Carter blames Yuē shū yà for making them late with his blatant and childish lies, distracting Yuē shū yà into continuing their previous argument with Yuē shū yà telling him that he is the only one in Hong Kong who doesn’t know about his previous relationship with Lucy. This brief moment allows Lam to apprehend a vehicle, which in turn makes them do the same, turning the foot pursuit into a high speed car chase. Unbeknownst to them, Lam was a genius at illegal road-racing and would rather die than lose a race. Lam would continually try to cause other people on the road to crash and risk pedestrian lives while trying to evade them. Yuē shū yà, wanting to end this dangerous chase before any more civilians get hurt, exits from the car window and climbs on top of the hood of the car. He then has Carter speed up before jumping on to Lam's vehicle, blinding Lam from the road and sending them crashing. As Yuē shū yà tries to recover from the crash, he sees a bloody and battered Lam make another run for it. Trying to limp towards the fleeing Lam,Yuē shū yà is surprised and relived to see the victim's brother rugby tackle him. Yuē shū yà then places Lam Kwok-wai under arrest. Following this, Yuē shū yà and Carter would investigate Teeth Dog Yip Kai Foon, an infamous Chinese illegal immigrant turned gangster who specialized in robbing jewelery stores with AK-47 assault rifles. They would get a break in the case when they get a tip that Yip Kai Foon would soon reenter the city by boat. During the subsequently stakeout of the docks, Yuē shū yà and Carter heavily debate the outcome of a real life fight between Bruce Lee and Jim Kelly. Before a decision could be agreed upon, their conversation is cut short as they see a boat approach. Yuē shū yà and Carter then surprised Yip and his gang in an alley near the waterfront. Following a brief scuffle, the rest of the gang fled, but Yip pulled a gun from his bag and began shooting. Wanting to capture all the criminals in one swoop, Yuē shū yà split from Carter deciding to take the rooftops to catch up with Yip's men. During an ensuing foot pursuit, Carter ordered Yip to drop his gun, which he refused to do, instead continuing to shoot at the American. After his gun jammed, Carter finished the gunfight rendering Yip Kai Foon, paralyzed from the waist down. With Yip captured, Carter goes to check on Yuē shū yà who has just finished off the last of the gang. Later, Carter would become even more flustered with Yuē shū yà, upon discovering that Yip Kai Foon had a HK$1 million reward on his head, and that Yuē shū yà turned down the reward money. Yuē shū yà tires to make it up to him by promising him a night on the town, to which Carter agrees on the condition that Yuē shū yà pay for everything. However, on the way to the Sevva Rooftop Bar, Yuē shū yà gets a call from Dorai who tells him that two translators were killed in a bombing at the American embassy. He tells Yuē shū yà that he believes Ricky Tan and the Wo Shing Wo Triads are behind the bombing and asks him if he wants the case. As Yuē shū yà contemplates breaking his promise to Carter again, Dorai assures him that he would understand if he didn't want the case, to which Yuē shū yà quickly answered that he'll investigate. Due to Yuē shū yà's and Dorai's conversation being entirely in Chinese, Carter instantly grows suspicious that he has just taken another case, even going so far as too ask Yuē shū yà point blank if he just ruined his vacation, but Yuē shū yà lies to Carter convincing him that he didn't take a new assignment and that they were invited to a policeman’s ball for their efforts in the Yip Kai Foon case. Yuē shū yà then drives them to the Play club, which unbeknownst to Carter was one of Ricky Tan's regular hangouts before he fled Hong Kong. Yuē shū yà now undercover, leaves Carter by the bar and begins looking for Ricky Tan. However, before he can find Tan, he spots Carter doing karaoke on stage surrounded by women. Not wanting to blow his cover, Yuē shū yà pulls the unassuming Carter aside and confesses their true purpose there, much to his disappointment. A disgruntled Carter then takes the stage and begins to interrogate the crowd in extremely broken mandarin, effectively telling the crowd to Take out their samurai swords and shave his butt. The interrogation is soon cut short when Yuē shū yà notices Ricky Tan's second in command, Hu Li who exist the club. He gives chase to her and the Wo Shing Wo Triads and Carter follows, which leads them all the way to a bamboo building in the marketplace. Once Yuē shū yà reaches the top, she knocks him off the building with a large bamboo stick, which leaves him hanging from the bent bamboo. As she prepares to finish him off, she hears noises coming from the doors and flees as soon as Carter arrives. He attempts to rescue Yuē shū yà, but she sneaks up behind him and as Yuē shū yà tries to warn him about Hu Li being right behind him, knocks him off the building with the bamboo stick, leaving the two cops hanging from the building while she flees again. The bamboo soon breaks and crashes them into a local food venders cart rendering them unable to continue pursuit. They then return home defeated and flustered. The next day Yuē shū yà tires to make things up to Carter by taking him to Heaven on Earth Massage Parlor, but their relaxation is soon interrupted by the arrival of Ricky Tan. Upon seeing Ricky Tan in person, Carter is unimpressed by his diminutive stature calling him a Midget in a bathrobe and doesn’t listen to Yuē shū yà when he warns him that Tan is currently the most dangerous man in Hong Kong as he is the leader of Hong Kong's oldest Triad Clan. Yuē shū yà goes to call for back up and Carter decides to confront Tan himself. He walks over to him and demands that he get up but when Tan tells him that he's busy as of the moment, Carter jokingly says that he's busy too and again tells him to get on his feet. Tan recognizes Carter and says he knows that he is Yuē shū yà's American friend. Carter reassures him that he is in fact Yuē shū yà's muscle and again tells him to get up. Tan laughs and says that Americans are so funny. Angry that he is not being taken seriously, Carter takes Tan's laptop and throws it on the ground, breaking it and then proceed to stomp on it repeatedly. As Carter is turned around Tan's bodyguards stand up but Tan orders them to settle down. Yuē shū yà comes out witnessing the fiasco and tries to stop Carter from physically attacking Tan. Tan is happy to see Yuē shū yà again but Yuē shū yà is in no mood to exchange fake pleasantries and explains to him his implications of Tan's involvement in the deaths of the two Americans from the embassy explosion and asks him to come down to the police station for questioning. Tan tells Yuē shū yà that if he has anymore questions, he should ask him here, to which Yuē shū yà winks at Carter and makes a move with his mouth leading Carter to mistakenly think that Yuē shū yà was telling him to attack Tan. He grabs Tan by the collar of his robe causing the bodyguards to stand up and confront him. Slightly frightened, Carter apologizes for breaking his laptop and offers to pay for him and get him a new one. Tan tells him that he must excuse himself and tells Yuē shū yà to have a good day. He then immediately leaves leaving his bodyguards to confront Yuē shū yà and Carter. This breaks into a large brawl which ends with the two victorious but to their disbelief they are immediately captured by Hu Li and more of the Wo Shing Wo Triads who later dumped Yuē shū yà and Carter off on the freeway with their clothes stripped as a warning to stay away. Upon their return to Police Headquarters, Yuē shū yà and Carter get into yet another argument before Yuē shū yà is called into a briefing with Dorai and U.S. Secret Service agent Harris Sterling. Sterling tells Yuē shū yà that the men who were killed were in fact not American translators, but U.S. customs agents trying to break a Triad smuggling ring. Yuē shū yà asks him how he can help them with the investigation and Sterling suggests that he should stay out of his way. Yuē shū yà assures him that he can get Ricky Tan, but Sterling tells him that they are using Ricky Tan as bait to lure out begins  the person responsible for the smuggling ring. Yuē shū yà then talks to Dorai privately, frustrated that he's being sidelined in his own city, to which Dorai tells him that he understands how he feels and that while Yuē shū yà and Carter were getting captured by the Wo Shing Wo Triads, he was talking with Agent Sterling about the ongoing investigation into the bombing at the American Embassy and informed him that he wanted Yuē shū yà to supervise the Secret Service agents operating in Hong Kong but Sterling refused insisting that Yuē shū yà report directly to him, an argument Dorai would lose once Yuē shū yà and Carter walked into the police station naked and covered with trash can lids and newspapers. Embarrassed and disappointed in himself a sullen Yuē shū yà returns to his office in order to apologize to Carter. However while halfway there his office mysteriously explodes. Once Yuē shū yà recovers he is horrified to see the damage done by the explosion and is horrified to find that Carter has been killed in the blast. Distraught over losing yet another partner, Yuē shū yà drives around aimlessly only being briefly cheered up by playing one of Carter's rap CDs. Knowing that Yuē shū yà would be seeking any lead he could get on Tan, Dorai calls  Yuē shū yà and tells him that they just received word that Ricky Tan would be throwing a dinner party on his yacht. When Yuē shū yà asks if he told Sterling, Dorai tells him that Sterling will have to find out on his own because the Hong Kong Police Force deserve to handle this. After sneaking on board the boat Yuē shū yà immediately grabs one of the Wo Shing Wo and begins interrogating him about the whereabouts of his boss. Trying to play to the Triad's conscious, Yuē shū yà tells him that Tan was just responsible for the death of a good friend and a great detective, to which Yuē shū yà hears a voice asking him who died. Hearing the familiarity in his voice, Yuē shū yà turns to see Carter standing before him. Dazed and confused Yuē shū yà answers Carter's repeated question telling him that Carter died, confusing Carter. Carter explains to Yuē shū yà that after he was called away he noticed that he was missing his wallet and left the office but not before flirting with a girl who was headed the opposite direction. Carter went on to tell Yuē shū yà  that when he blew a kiss to her, she shut the door, leaving him dumbfounded and continued to explain that following that he had a hard time finding the massage parlor and ended up buying a chicken before spotting Ricky Tan and following him to this Yatch. Their reunion is soon cut short however once Carter recognizes Hu Li as the woman he filtered with earlier and spots her as she goes down to the main deck to meet with her boss. Tan reprimands Hu Li for disappointing him and asks if she had forgotten where she is from, and then tells her not to forget who she works for. Soon he dismisses her when Yuē shū yà and Carter arrive to confront Tan. After asking Carter to give him and Yuē shū yà some time alone, Tan tells Yuē shū yà that the Triads are at war with each other and that he fears for his life. Tan then tells Yuē shū yà that he'll give him all the information he needs on the embassy bombing, but he has to get him out of Hong Kong right away. As Yuē shū yà contemplates this, Hu Li appears again with some Wo Shing Wo Triads interrupting Yuē shū yà and Tan. When Tan reprimands her again she responds by shooting him and he falls off his boat. She attempts to escape after leaving her henchman to deal with Yuē shū yà when she calls over a boat. Carter appears and confronts her and she does a back roundhouse kick to his face. When he challenges her she kicks him again in the chin which causes him to fall to the floor knocked out. Yuē shū yà goes to find her after dispatching the Triads but she manages to escape on the boat with help from more of the Wo Shing Wo who are now fully under her control. After the botched arrest, Sterling, upset over losing Tan, holds Yuē shū yà directly responsible for his death. However, with no evidence to prove otherwise, Sterling simply orders Yuē shū yà off the case. Sterling also orders Carter to be flown back to Los Angeles for involving himself. Dorai apologizes to Yuē shū yà and tells two patrolmen to escort Carter to the airport, but Yuē shū yà interrupts and says that he'll take him to the airport. At the airport, Carter and Yuē shū yà have a heart to heart in which Yuē shū yà tells Carter the history between Ricky Tan, Dorai, and himself, making Carter realize why Yuē shū yà has a personal vendetta against Tan and was unable to refuse the case. Together the two decide to continue their investigation albeit in Los Angeles. On the plane, Carter explains to Yuē shū yà that they're heading to LA because in every large criminal operation, there is a rich white man behind it and that in this one the man is Steven Reign. Carter goes on to tell Yuē shū yà that when he first sunk on the yacht, he saw a woman named Isabella Molina, whom he immediately became smitten with. He walked over to the bar and attempted to seduce her by speaking a little bit of Spanish, saying that his yacht was her yacht and offering to see him and her in a downstairs bathroom. When she asks him about his yacht, he tells her that its called the S.S. Mino Johnson, but she corrects him by adding that the name on the back was the Red Dragon and tells him that it was is her friend's yacht and that it was his party. Carter refusing to break character claims that he must have gotten on the wrong yacht. Soon, billionaire and LA socialite Steven Reign appears and asks Isabella "Who's your friend?" She answers that its somebody who got on the wrong yacht. Carter recognized Steven Reign as he owns half of Los Angeles. When he asks him what's doing in Hong Kong, Steven tells him's that he's having a weekend taking in the sights. When Reign tells Isabella that they must be going she stands, up and filrtingly tells Carter to "enjoy the party" before leaving with Reign. Yuē shū yà is confused as to why that makes him a viable suspect, to which Carter continues to tell him that later in the night during Hu Li's escape, he spotted Reign watching the fiasco while calmly smoking a cigar. Trusting Carter's hunch, Yuē shū yà accepts his probable cause. When the duo arrive in LA they book a hotel next to Reign's Towers hotel and begin surveying him. Carter spies on him through a telescope while he is smoking a pipe in his suite. Isabella then walks in and greets him revealing that the suite is actually hers. As they talk, Carter gives the telescope to Yuē shū yà for him to watch. Reign then leaves the suite as Carter assures Yuē shū yà that he'll come back. Yuē shū yà soon becomes smitten with Isabella when he sees her undress to her bra and panties. Carter summoned by the commotion from Yuē shū yà when he says "ahh slow down baby", grabs the telescope from him and also sees her undress. He gets a close up of her tattoo above her panties and says that it looks like Snoopy. Isabella puts on her bathrobe and after hearing a knock at the door, she approaches and opens it. Hu Li appears at the door, disguised as a delivery woman, and gives Isabella a package. Yuē shū yà and Carter, thinking that the woman was Hu Li and assuming the package was a bomb, run to the other side of the Reign Towers and reach Isabella's suite. Yuē shū yà kicks the door open and he and Carter take the package and run through the hotel but not before Carter flirts with her again. They run to the rooftop and they briefly argue over how to get rid of the "bomb". Yuē shū yà throws the package down and they duck for cover but Isabella appears on the rooftop and picks up the package. She reveals that the package was not a bomb, but a stack of money, then threatens to throw both Yuē shū yà and Carter in jail for obstruction of justice. When Carter confronts her about it, she reveals herself as an undercover agent with the United States Secret Service. When Carter asks her to show him her badge she opens her robe to reveal that her badge was a pen on the left side of her bra. Yuē shū yà tells her that they can help her but she reveals that she knows who he is, calling him Super Cop and tells them that they need to go out of sight and come down to her suite. Yuē shū yà and Carter meet up with Isabella in her hotel suite. She tells them that she's been working the case for months and shares what she knows. The triads and Reign think that she's a crooked U.S. customs agent. She then says that her and Sterling's case is looking into Reign's money laundering of US$ 100 million dollars in high grade counterfeit US$ 100 bills, otherwise known as Superbills, Isabella then takes a lighter and reveals that the money used is fake, setting the dollar on fire and watching it burn red instead of black, claiming that they used a transfer of ink from India that burns red, but the real one burns black. She then concludes that they should find the plates because if they do, then they could expose the entire operation. She asks them,while slowly and seductively undressing, if they can find out where Hu Li is keeping the plates and they agree. Isabella welcomes them aboard and tells them from this moment on, they are working for the United States Secret Service. Believing that he may know how to find a lead on the Superbills, Carter takes Yuē shū yà to a Chinese soul-food restaurant in Crenshaw wanting to talk to a childhood friend named Kenny, who runs an illegal gambling den in the back of the restaurant. Once they enter the restaurant Carter goes gun-ho on Kenny and his family, abruptly walking to the back and threatening to bust the gambling ring. Kenny quickly becomes frustrated with Carter and threatens to use his kung-fu to take him down, to which Carter pulls out his gun on Kenny escalating things further. Wanting to calm things down, Yuē shū yà places his hand on his shoulder which the on edge Kenny takes as a challenge. To Yuē shū yà's surprise Kenny is an expert at the Twisting Tiger technique, earning Yuē shū yà's respect after the brief altercation. Forming a friendship, the two begin to talk to each other about Carter in Chinese before Kenny answers their questions and reveals that a man named Zing who rolls with the Wo Shing Wo Triads had built up a considerable debt over his gambling wages but mysteriously paid the full debt in cash a few nights ago. Carter then burns one of the bills Zing gave him and it burns red, confirming that the money is counterfeit. Kenny angry that he had been tricked tells the duo where Zing works and warns them that they better find him before him and his crew do. When Yuē shū yà and Carter go to his office at the Reign Plaza Bank Zing runs away. As Yuē shū yà and Carter are giving chase, it is revealed that the triads were waiting for them the whole time. While the cops are being held at gun point by the triads, Hu Li tells Yuē shū yà that she'll be remembered for getting rid of him. When Carter attempts to lie, she sees through it and pulls a gun on him forcing him to apologize. She prepares to kill them both but Isabella steps in and says "I think there is someone who would like to talk to them first" Hu Li lowers her gun as Isabella sneaks up behind Yuē shū yà and knocks him unconscious with her gun. Carter confronts her, as she aim her gun at him, but Hu Li kicks him in the chin, knocking out his filling. When he tells her that its gonna cost her, she slaps his face and he retaliates by saying that he never hit a woman in his life, but she is pushing it. Angered, Hu Li orders the triads to take the unconscious Yuē shū yà to the truck and hold Carter. As Carter is being held at gun point and being forced to go to the truck, he stops by and tells her "You better watch your back!" Infuriated, she knocks Carter unconscious again and orders her men to carry him to the truck as well. After the car stops, Yuē shū yà and Carter assume that the triads have arrived at their destination and Yuē shū yà makes a plan to escape while finding out that the triads are smuggling the Superbills in statues, after accidentally knocking one over. Following a brief fight with the remaining triads, Carter and Yuē shū yà are forced to flee into the sewer before escaping through a manhole cover, which reveals to them that they are in Las Vegas. After finding out where they are, they realize that Reign is laundering the $100 million through his new casino the Red Dragon. After getting some new clothes to appear more in sync with the crowd, the two crash the opening of the Red Dragon. They arrive just in time to hear Reign tell a story about a small wealthy village in China hiring a young dragon to guard their treasure in a cave. According to legend the people started sneaking him extra food hoping to make him stronger, and the dragon grew so big, he got stuck, and the treasure was trapped behind him for all eternity. He tells the crowd that he has found that lost treasure here inside the greatest casino in the world. He then proclaims "Welcome to the Red Dragon, where everybody is a winner!!". As a Chinese like celebration parade begins to start Isabella grabs Yuē shū yà by the arm and drags him to the dance floor. While they are dancing she tells him to put his arms around her and to hold her close because there are cameras everywhere. When she tells Yuē shū yà that she's in trouble, and that she needs his help, he sarcastically tells her that the last time she needed his help, he woke up in the truck. She reminds him that she is still undercover, instructing him to infiltrate the back area to find the engraving plates, which where used to make the counterfeit money. Yuē shū yà asks her why can't she do it herself and she responds by saying that if her suspicions are wrong, then her entire cover is blown. Yuē shū yà asks her how can he trust her, and he dips her before she strokes his hair and asks if he can help the Secret Service. She slips away as soon as Carter finds Yuē shū yà. After Yuē shū yà convinces Carter that Isabella didn't sell them out, Carter decides to make a big commotion so that Yuē shū yà could make his move. Carter successfully distracts the security forces, allowing Yuē shū yà to make his way to the back. However, Yuē shū yà is spotted by the guards through the security cameras and after fighting them he attempts to escape but is captured by Hu Li and another of the Wo Shing Wo Triads. While the guards are holding Yuē shū yà down she sticks a ying tao grenade and puts it in Yuē shū yà's mouth, her henchman gags and tapes his mouth and hands as she tells him to follow her or she'll push the detonator and blow 32 teeth in his brain. She takes him up to the top floor of the casino, where Isabella, still undercover, is waiting along with a still alive Ricky Tan revealing that he has faked his death and as Yuē shū yà suspected is in charge of the operation. Yuē shū yà stares at Isabella thinking that she was betraying him again. When Hu Li points out to her boss that Steven Reign is headed for the penthouse to get the plates they look on the security cameras and see Carter dancing on a crap table. He orders Hu Li to tell the security to get rid of Carter and tells Yuē shū yà that the trouble with partners is they die "as will he". Before he leaves he tells Hu Li to "have fun". Hu Li approaches Yuē shū yà and tells him that after she's through with him he'll be begging her to push the button on the detonator. Isabella then takes out a gun from under the table, reveals herself as a U.S. Secret Service agent and attempts to arrest Hu Li, before she would press the detonator Yuē shū yà kicks it out of her hand and a fight ensues. Isabella attempts to regain her gun but Hu Li kicks it out of her hand, the two press heels but despite Isabella's best efforts due to Hu Li's deadly martial arts experience she is on the defensive and is easily bested. After subduing Isabella, Hu Li sees Yuē shū yà subdue the henchman and attempts to kill him by going for the detonator but Yuē shū yà stops her by holding her close to his gagged mouth intending to kill them both. She kicks him in the groin area and he stops her by holding her until she breaks free and kicks him out of a window where he falls out on to the casino floor still gagged and taped. Isabella regains consciousness and sweeps Hu Li's detonator out on to the casino floor where Yuē shū yà spots it and chases after it to prevent his own death. However the panicked people running from the casino continually sweep out the detonator from both Yuē shū yà and Hu Li. Yuē shū yà soon finds Carter being surrounded by triads and casino security and goes to help him, fending off his pursuers. The excited Carter is too elated by his recent success at the crabs table to notice Yuē shū yà's predicament until he sees that he has a glowing red light emitting from his check. Hu Li sees Yuē shū yà and Carter together as Carter starts pulling the tape off of Yuē shū yà's mouth. With a sly smile Hu Li finds her detonator trying to kill them both but Yuē shū yà managed to spit the grenade out and it lands on a casino table roller. Hu Li pushes the button on her detonator and the table explodes forcing Yuē shū yà and Carter to duck for cover. After Yuē shū yà frees himself he tells Carter that Ricky Tan is alive, they attempt to head to the penthouse but a furious Hu Li throws a harpoon at them. Yuē shū yà attempts to stop her but Carter tells him to go after Tan while he deals with Hu Li. As he reaches an elevator a wounded Isabella appears stopping the elevator and Yuē shū yà sees that she's bleeding from her left arm as she's been shot. He asks if she's okay and she assures him that she's fine, he tells her that she needs help. In his confusion he tells her that he didn't know which side she was on. With a warm smile Isabella tells him "well now you know". Yuē shū yà then gets her medical attention for her arm before safely escorting her out through the back entrance. Meanwhile in the penthouse Reign opens the safe to the plates and is about to leave when he runs into Tan. Reign tells him that he's cutting their deal short and is keeping the plates showing him a gun tucked into his trousers as a silent warning to him not to cross him. Tan tells him that he enjoyed his story about the dragon and the treasure and that his mother used to tell it to him all the time. He asks him if he knows the morale of that story. Reign says "Greed will imprison us all." Suddenly, Tan stabs him in the stomach with a knife and says that he hated "that fortune cookie shit!". As Reign slumps to the ground dead, Tan takes the plates and is about to leave when Yuē shū yà arrives and confronts him. Tan laughs and says "Just like your sifu". He says he really did try to help Dorai, to share with him and to make both Chun Li and Yuē shū yà's lives better but that Dorai was too weak and too afraid of change. Yuē shū yà demands the plates telling Tan that its over. Tan tells him that its not over and he offers to help Yuē shū yà by giving him the same deal he tried to cut with Dorai, warning him not to make the same mistake that his master had done. Tan turns around but Yuē shū yà threatens to kill him if he reaches for the gun. Tan asks him " Don't you remember? I'm already dead". He tries to hit Yuē shū yà with the bag containing the plates but Yuē shū yà ducks and grabs Reign's gun shoving him up against the wall and holding him at gunpoint, the same way Tan once held Dorai at gunpoint. Carter appears finally defeating Hu Li and seeing Yuē shū yà holding Tan at gun point, tells his friend that it's not worth it. Tan then explains to Yuē shū yà how he nearly killed his father and that it was pathetic to hear him ask him to promise not to kill Chun Li, or his precious students. Hearing this, Carter changes his attitude and encourages Yuē shū yà to shoot him. As Tan taunts Yuē shū yà more about his father and his recently deceased partner, this enrages Yuē shū yà as he can not bring himself to pull the trigger. Carter then suggests to Yuē shū yà that he should fight Tan if he isn't going to shoot him. Just as Yuē shū yà is about to tell Carter to shut up, Tan knocks the gun away in Carter's direction, causing it to go off. A struggle ensues with Tan trying to retrieve the gun and Carter's attempts to stop him. Yuē shū yà suddenly sees Tan picking up the gun and shooting at Carter who is holding up a carpet rug blocking the shot. Unable to see another person close to him die, Yuē shū yà does a jumping back kick to Ricky Tan, sending him crashing out the window where he falls several stories to his death, landing on a taxi cab. Moments after Yuē shū yà and Carter defeat Ricky Tan, a seriously injured and limping Hu Li enters, holding a time bomb in an attempt to kill them both. Carter demands that she disarm the bomb as she threatens them in Cantonese. But Yuē shū yà sees that the clock on the bomb is about to reach zero and tells Carter that they have to jump out the window. Carter refuses, but Yuē shū yà pleads with him. She is killed in the explosion when the bomb detonates after they leap out the window sliding on decoration wires with their jackets and holding on to them with the explosion right behind them. The next day, at the Las Vegas Airport, Agent Sterling thanks Yuē shū yà for his work on the case saying that the Secret Service is indebted to him, Isabella tells Yuē shū yà she would like to thank him too and they share an intimate kiss. Yuē shū yà tells her that it was really nice working with her and she smiles. As Yuē shū yà walks away she continues to smile back at him while Carter secretly watches from afar. When Carter asks Yuē shū yà where she's headed, Yuē shū yà tells him that she's going to New York. As Carter and Yuē shū yà prepare to go to their separate gates toward LA and Hong Kong respectively, Yuē shū yà turns around, calling out to Carter who eagerly responds. Not knowing when he's ever going to see his friend again, Yuē shū yà gives him one of his medals from his Sanshou days telling Carter to keep it as a memento of their adventures and friendship, Carter then hands Yuē shū yà $10,000 having won the money earlier in the day. Yuē shū yà is apprehensive about accepting the money at first until Carter tells Yuē shū yà to stop thinking like a cop for once and live it up. When Carter asks Yuē shū yà if there is anything he ever wanted to do, he tells Carter that he has always wanted to go to Madison Square Garden and watch a New York Knicks basketball game, Carter excitedly questions Yuē shū yà confirming New York City, to which Yuē shū yà suggest first class as Carter proposes they stay at the Plaza Hotel. Yuē shū yà asks if Carter really wants to go and he tells Yuē shū yà he could go for one more vacation. The two of them then high five as they excitedly dance toward the kiosk in order to change their flight. As luck would have it, Carter is able to finally get a real vacation and Yuē shū yà is able to continue his blossoming romance with Isabella although they both are soon forced to realize that their New York dalliance would eventually come to an end when Yuē shū yà returns to Hong Kong. Not wanting that to happen the two agree to become an official couple promising each other that they would make the long distance relationship work. Upon the end of their New York sabbatical, Yuē shū yà and Carter give one another a heartfelt goodbye. Fortunately for Yuē shū yà, he is forgiven for his impromptu two week vacation by Dorai. Carter, however, is unable to receive the same courtesy from the LAPD despite his part in the successful shut down of the Wo Shing Wo Triad clan; instead being suspended for two weeks without pay, much to his frustration. 
=== The Cyber Crime of the Century ===
When Yuē shū yà returns home, he is surprised to find Hong Kong's recent crime wave in remission. Although unbeknownst to the Royal Hong Kong Police Department, this remission in crime would prove to only be the calm before the storm as many of Hong Kong's citizens would have their bank accounts mysteriously drained and their identities stolen by an unknown assailant. Yuē shū yà would volunteer to handle the case, but it would prove nearly impossible for him to handle alone, as he discovered that the theft was committed online via a hacker; essentially leaving his suspect list to be anyone who owned a computer. A few weeks later, while still making no head way in what newspapers are calling the Cyber Crime of the Century, Yuē shū yà is informed by Isabella that the Secret Service is beginning to investigate a similar Cyber Crime in America fitting the Hong Kong hacker's modus operandi and she goes on to tell him that the Secret Service would like his help in the investigation, allowing for the two to finally reunite. With Dorai's blessing Yuē shū yà returns to America to monitor the situation closer. Over the next three months, Yuē shū yà and Isabella grow extremely close as a couple but grow no closer to finding out who the elusive hacker is. However, their luck would change when word made its way to the U.S. attorney’s office that a New York Police Lieutenant by the name of John McClane had made an arrest of an ATM hacker. Following their best lead in weeks, Yuē shū yà and Isabella take the first flight to New York and visit McClane. On the flight, Isabella admitted to Yuē shū yà that she had always wanted to meet John McClane as he was an infamous cop who had single handily stopped both foreign and domestic terrorists attacks while as a member of the NYPD and the LAPD. Seeing seeds of Yuē shū yà's jealousy towards her admiration of McClane, she playfully teases Yuē shū yà by calling McClane America's own Supercop. Yuē shū yà shrugs this off proclaiming that it takes more than stopping two terrorists attacks to be a Supercop, although Isabella can see his poorly hidden annoyance as he pretends to fall asleep. Secretly frustrated at Isabella's words, Yuē shū yà becomes inexplicably anxious to meet this American Supercop, wishing to see what all Isabella's hype is about. Upon finally meeting the Legendary McClain, Yuē shū yà is shocked to see the heavy smoking, heavy drinking, and unkempt lieutenant, secretly remarking to Isabella that who ever it was standing in front of them, it was no Supercop, to which Isabella nudges him to stop talking before introducing herself. As the room begins to fill before the briefing of the suspect's arrest, Yuē shū yà is unable to focus as he continues to study McClain, trying to figure out how he could be regarded as a Supercop. Sensing Yuē shū yà's present glare, McClain interrupts the briefing to question what Yuē shū yà's deal was as he had been stoically staring at him from the time he entered the room. Shocked that he had been caught staring at the lieutenant, he sits there silently before McClain comes to his own conclusion that he must want his autograph. Yuē shū yà dismisses McClain's theory of admiration and confesses that he was merely trying to figure out how someone of such poor life style habits could accomplish his supposed feats, something McClain takes exception to wondering who the hell Yuē shū yà is. Yuē shū yà proudly states that he is Hong Kong's Supercop, to which McClain begins mocking his title questioning what being a Supercop even means. Yuē shū yà, unable to answer him, resorts to McClain's tactics of mocking and wisecracking leading the two to bicker back and forth until they are stopped by Isabella and NYPD Captain Jack Scalvino respectively. Captain Scalvino then continues his briefing, informing Yuē shū yà and Isabella that while McClain was investigating a series of car thefts in upper Manhattan, he followed a suspicious-looking young man with long, stringy hair and a nose ring into the A.T.M. lobby of a bank. Pretending to use one of the machines, McClane watched as the man pulled a debit card from his pocket and withdrew hundreds of dollars in cash. Then he pulled out another card and did the same thing to multiple other machines. McClane interjects that the suspect wasn’t stealing cars, but that he figured he was stealing something. To which the Captain confirms, proclaiming that the young man was in the act of cashing out, as he himself would later admit. He had programmed a stack of blank debit cards with stolen card numbers and was withdrawing as much cash as he could from each account. To throw off anyone who might later look at surveillance footage, the young man was wearing a woman’s wig and a costume-jewelry nose ring. McClane asked his name, and though the man went by many aliases on the Internet — such as cumbajohny, segvec, and soupnazi — he told him his real name “Albert Gonzalez”. When Yuē shū yà questioned why the suspect would just give up this information freely, McClane with a smirk tells Yuē shū yà that he had a very laid-back and cool approach, something the Supercop should try to learn. Before the verbal sparing could be restarted, Isabella began her debriefing on the massive credit-and debit-card fraud investigation the Secret Service had been conducting, suggesting that the Lieutenant of New York's Detective Squad may have caught the very person they need to blow this case wide open. Isabella's suspicions of Gonzalez being more than just a casher, would reign true as he later confessed to being a moderator and rising star on Shadowcrew.com, an archetypal criminal cyberbazaar for hackers to trade, buy, and sell anything from stolen personal information, to hacked credit card numbers and false identification. Gonzalez stated that it's users trafficked in databases of stolen card accounts and devices like magnetic strip-encoders and card-embossers; they posted tips on vulnerable banks and stores and effective e-mail scams. Shadowcrew had hundreds of members across the United States, Europe and Asia; the latter of which interested Yuē shū yà specifically. After a quick interrogation, the cooperative cyberhacker revealed the handles or cyber identities of the Hong Kong hackers within his organization but admitted that the hacker Yuē shū yà is looking for most likely wasn't from Hong Kong as Shadowcrew often used to hijack IP addresses from other countries when committing fraud as they were less likely to be caught by their respective governments. Hearing this disheartens Yuē shū yà as he thought he finally found a substantial lead but was left back at square one. That is until, however, Gonzalez remembered a hacker boasting about ripping off an entire city and suggest to the Hong Kong Inspector that he may want to look into a hacker by the name of BadB. Following the hacker's suggestion, the Secret Service spend endless hours investigating BadB until they miraculously uncover, CarderPlanet. CarderPlanet was a website operated by another cyber criminal organization to traffic counterfeit credit cards, and false identification information and documents. Using Gonzalez to counter hack for them, the Secret Service discover BadB's real name, Владислав Анатольевич Хорохорин or Vladislav Anatolievich Horohorin; an Israeli, Russian citizen who served in the Israeli Defense Forces and was one of the founders of CarderPlanet. Believing to have found Hong Kong's elusive hacker, Yuē shū yà  prepares to leave America and journey to Russia in order to apprehend him. However, before Yuē shū yà leaves he is stopped by Isabella who informs him that they discovered a forum on CarderPlanet through which someone can purchase fraud-related information and found that a hacker group known as ArkanoiD sold the unprotected secrets of Hong Kong's Citibank systems to a system administrator by the name of Владимир Левин or Vladimir Levin. Believing Vladimir to be the culprit behind Hong Kong's mass theft, Isabella convinces Yuē shū yà to forgo his trip to Russia and help track down Vladimir. Upon further investigation, it is discovered that Vladimir accessed the accounts of several large corporate customers of Hong Kong's Citibanks via their dial-up wire transfer service, Financial Institutions Citibank Cash Manager, and transferred funds to accounts set up by accomplices in Finland, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany and Israel. Unbeknownst to Vladimir, three of his accomplices were arrested attempting to withdraw funds in Tel Aviv, Rotterdam and San Francisco. Interrogation of his accomplices confirmed the Secret Service's investigations to Vladimir, however, they were unable to detain him due to Russia's Constitution which prohibits extradition of its citizens to foreign countries. Desperate to get justice for the crimes committed against both the Hong Kong and American people, Yuē shū yà and Isabella decide to use Gonzalez again setting up an undercover operation to lure Vladimir out of Russian soil. As luck would have it, their plan worked and the duo were able to apprehend Vladimir at London's Stansted Airport when making an interconnecting flight from Moscow. Vladimir's lawyers fought against extradition to the U.S., but their appeal was rejected by the House of Lords and Vladimir was delivered into U.S. custody. He was then tried and convicted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and ordered to make a restitution of all the money he stole from the Hong Kong Populace. With the case finally closed Yuē shū yà bids Isabella farewell with a passionate kiss, not knowing when he might see her in person again, and she tells him for the first time that she loves him. 
=== The Nuclear Conspiracy ===
Once back home, Yuē shū yà is plagued with thoughts of Isabella, missing her desperately. However, he quickly finds a way to distract himself from such thoughts as he immediately deep dives back into work, shutting down several gambling dens, smuggling rings, and narcotic distribution operations. After this, Yuē shū yà is informed by Consul Han that the C.I.A. are requesting his help on a mission in tracking a suspect who has escaped to Hong Kong, where they have no legal jurisdiction. Yuē shū yà is admittedly weary of the C.I.A. Following his bitter experience with them during his time in Los Angeles, but Han assures Yuē shū yà that the C.I.A. has different agents working this case and promises that things will go smoother than last time. Although Yuē shū yà doubts Han's claims, he agrees to take the assignment as a favor. For the next two weeks, Yuē shū yà trails a brunette Russian woman named Natasha Rushinski, a name which he finds impossible to pronounce. He is told that Natasha was identified as a possible go between of a money smuggling ring uncovered by Albert Gonzalez on the Dark Web and is tasked with confirming this theory. Yuē shū yà shadowed her continually until she booked a Hong Kong tour to Ukraine. Believing she is going to flee the country, Yuē shū yà debriefs the C.I.A. of his investigation, confirming that Natasha did many suspicious activities such as traveling to multiple different banks in the course of the same day and made several late night payphone calls, leading him to suspect that she is in fact working with a contact although he was admittedly unable to identity who that contact was. After the debriefing, the C.I.A. agents thank Yuē shū yà for his work before requesting to speak with Han in private. On their way back to the hotel Han rented for his stay in Hong Kong, Han informs Yuē shū yà that the agents were impressed with his work and suggest that Yuē shū yà should work with them again someday. Yuē shū yà brushes this off agreeing to working with them sometime in the future, to which Han twist Yuē shū yà's agreement from a future partnership to a continuing one, telling him that he is to stay on the Natasha case. Yuē shū yà quickly becomes frustrated as he realizes that Han has already told the American agents that he would continue his investigation, meaning that he would have to follow her to the Ukraine. Han once again promises that it will be easy and improve Chinese and American relations. Yuē shū yà wonders why they would choose him to continue the case when they have so many of their own agents. Han answers that the agents believe Natasha's contact may be suspicious of their investigation and want a new face. Seeing Yuē shū yà's uneasiness at going to a new place where he doesn’t know the language, the people, or the customs, Han assures him that all he has to do is follow her on the plane, watch and record her movements and turn over his notes to the C.I.A. when he arrives. Han then suggest that Yuē shū yà take a vacation there for a few days, telling him that he's heard of how hard he's been pushing it lately and that he deserves a rest. Begrudgingly Yuē shū yà agrees to take the case and soon boards a flight for the country of Ukraine. During the 15 hour plane ride, Yuē shū yà noted that Natasha did nothing out of the ordinary only leaving her chair to go to the bathroom, albeit seven times. After landing at the Ukrainian airport in Kyiv, he checks in with his contact, Agent Mark and meets Commander Korda from the Department of Ukrainian Security. Once he debriefs them on the plane ride, he is finally relived of duty from Mark. Before Yuē shū yà leaves the airport, Mark lets him know that the accommodations for his stay in the city have already been set and that his return flight to Hong Kong will leave tomorrow. As a parting gift, Mark gives Yuē shū yà a telephone to reach him in the case of an emergency and hands him one billion Ukrainian dollars calling it pocket money. The quantity of the money completely stuns him as he begins to rethink his feelings against the C.I.A. While wandering around the populace of Kyiv, Yuē shū yà tries to take Han's advice to heart and enjoy the day as a mini vacation wanting to spend his pocket money to get Isabella a nice souvenir. However, he is soon crushed to learn that his billion dollars are worthless as street venders try to sell him cheap items for millions of dollars. In a turn of events, Yuē shū yà stumbles upon Natasha, spotting her in a jeep full of soldiers he didn't recognize. Curious, Yuē shū yà  hails a taxi and begins to follow after the caravan of jeeps to a military outpost. Unable to follow on car, he exists the taxi and pursues on foot though the wooded area and finds Natasha as she enters a hidden church. Not knowing how to proceed, he uses the phone Mark gave him to find out how she escaped their custody. Mark admits that their cover must have been blown some how and ask Yuē shū yà to continue following her, before suggesting that he find a street name so they can rendezvous. Yuē shū yà agrees and continues his surveillance but is soon cornered by approaching military jeeps. Not wanting to be discovered, Yuē shū yà is forced to sneak into an unlocked van. Once inside he is soon joined by Natasha and her contact although they are not alerted to his presence. After hours of driving, the pair finally stop in front of a Ukrainian-Swiss exchange bank with her contact dropping Natasha off after giving her a heartfelt goodbye and a kiss. During the kiss, Yuē shū yà is able to peer from the back of the van and discover that her contact is Asian, much to his shock and confusion. Following several more hours of driving, the van finally stops again and Natasha's contact exists the car. Yuē shū yà immediately calls Agent Mark, alerting him to his new suspect although he admits that he has no idea who the mystery man really is. He then leaves the van venturing out to the freezing cold as he tries to figure out where he is. Guided by Commander Korda, Yuē shū yà reads out the Ukrainian writing, discovering that he is at a ski lodge in Saint Volodymyr Hill. Commander Korda and Agent Mark agree to meet him there as he heads into the ski lodge to keep an eye on the suspect. Yuē shū yà follows him outside as the suspect purchases a snowmobile and heads off down the ski slopes. Yuē shū yà purchases one as well before spending the rest of his money on buying a hat he desperately needed in the numbing, cutting, and glacial weather, being poorly equipped to handed such extreme colds. Yuē shū yà continues after the suspect when he receives a phone call from Agent Mark, who wonders where he has wandered off to. Yuē shū yà tells him that he followed the suspect to some security area that threatens to shoot trespassers on sight. Mark relays that information to Korda who tells Yuē shū yà to ignore the warning signs, assuring the Hong Kong Inspector that he'll be fine. Despite his apprehension, Yuē shū yà journeys onward, discovering a hidden cabin in the snow capped woods. The suspect enters the cabin, Yuē shū yà informs Mark and Korda of the cabin's whereabouts, and the duo soon rendezvous with him bringing along a squadron of men from the Department of Ukrainian Security. As Mark and the Ukrainian Security force close in on the cabin, cornering the suspect, Yuē shū yà notices that the snow on the ground beneath them began to move. Sensing a trap, he tries to alert them but is too late; Commander Korda and the Security forced are massacred.  Unarmed, Yuē shū yà begins to fight back against the ambushers taking several of them out before being rescued by Agent Mark. Seeing the Suspect take off on his snowmobile, Agent Mark tells Yuē shū yà to trail him on his snowmobile, providing cover for Yuē shū yà as he does so. After he retrieves the snowmobile, he is called back by Mark and upon his return he is surprised to see him along side the suspect; unbeknownst to Yuē shū yà the suspect's snowmobile had crashed as a result of the gun fight. The three head out of the makeshift war zone on Yuē shū yà's snowmobile while being closely trailed by the gunmen. During the daring escape, the suspect knocks off Agent Mark and holds Yuē shū yà at gun point forcing him to continue driving and leaving Mark behind. As they journey down the snow covered Volodymyr Hill, the pair soon crash and are separated. In the insuring chaos, Yuē shū yà is able to obtain a case the suspect had been carrying, but before he could escape with it, one of the gunmen grazed the back of his head with the snowmobile, knocking the case out of his hand and further down the slope. Nonetheless he is able to recover it but is soon met by gunfire from a hovering helicopter. Desperate to evade the lethal bullets, he uses a snowboard as a sled and roughly slides down the hill before eventually crashing into a tree. Although hurt, Yuē shū yà musters the strength to pick himself up and properly put on the snowboard as four of the gunmen from the helicopter jump down on skies in pursuit of him and the case. Being extremely inexperienced with snowboards, the group are easily able to catch up to Yuē shū yà who is forced to slide right to the edge of a cliff where a helicopter from the Department of Security is waiting for him. Unable to stop, Yuē shū yà dives off of the cliff, barely managing to catch on to the bottom leg of the helicopter. The pursuing gunmen are killed as they charge for the helicopter and Yuē shū yà finally feels safe, believing the fight to be over, however, he soon realizes the contrary when he notices the enemy helicopter that had been hunting him had launched a missile at the helicopter he was clinging to. With no other option, Yuē shū yà releases his hold on the helicopter and plunges hundreds of feet into the icy depths below barely missing the harsh fatal ice. With the helicopter still after him, Yuē shū yà is forced to dive deeper into the below freezing waters finding one of the dead gunmen’s bodies, using it as a shield to protect him from the oncoming bullets. Yuē shū yà's shield plan works two fold as it successfully saves his life and convinces his pursuers of his death, watching the water turn red with the gunman's blood. Believing Yuē shū yà dead, the helicopter collects the case and escapes. Yuē shū yà then crawls to the ice shore before succumbing to the harsh weather, passing out as he desperately tries to warm himself. Yuē shū yà next awakes in a Russian military hospital bed covered in heated bedding. He is greeted by Colonel Gregor Yegorov of the Russian Federal Security Bureau, who claims that his agency is connected to the Department of Ukrainian Security and briefs Yuē shū yà on what happened after he fell unconscious, including Agent Mark's death. Colonel Gregor relays to Yuē shū yà that the generals of the Federal Security Bureau want to meet with him to discuss what happened on the botched mission, which resulted in the deaths of half the Ukrainian Security Department. Grateful for being rescued, Yuē shū yà agrees to meet with the generals and the two head to the Bureau's headquarters in the city of Moscow. Once there Yuē shū yà tells them everything he knows about the operation to follow Natasha Rushinski including her mysterious Asian partner, whom Yuē shū yà blames for the death of Agent Mark. He is then informed by the generals that they believe the same mysterious partner Yuē shū yà mentioned was responsible for smuggling out a nuclear warhead a few days prior. They go on to identify the suspect as Jackson Tsui, a member of the CIA who had been assigned to steal uranium production strategies from the Russian government and had been under their investigations for years. The generals admit that they are unable to locate Tsui but believe he has a sister named Annie that is living in Australia and ask that Yuē shū yà find her; sighting his prior success if finding missing person cases. Yuē shū yà, uncomfortable with accepting another mission from a foreign government, request that he get permission from his superiors back in Hong Kong, but is quickly informed by the eager generals that his superiors had already agreed to attach him to their mission, believing a missing nuclear warhead put the whole world in danger. Following the meeting, Yuē shū yà and Colonel Gregor board a submarine to take them to Australia undetected. Once in Darwin, the capital city of the Northern Territory of Australia, Yuē shū yà is set up in a presidential suite inside of a luxurious hotel. For the next 6 days, Yuē shū yà follows leads and for the second time tries to listen to Han's suggestion to take a mini-vacation often visiting the beach outside the hotel. Yuē shū yà is even given a car, designer clothing, a butler, and a pet Koala Bear all to make his accommodations more enjoyable. Yuē shū yà eventually finds a true lead in the case and visits a local oceanarium hoping to find Annie Tsui. To his surprise, he discovers that she is one of the workers there, preforming in the shark exhibit. After complimenting her on her bravery during the show, Yuē shū yà hands the beautiful Annie a bouquet of flowers before lying to her by proclaiming that he and her brother were sworn brothers, hoping to get close enough to her that she reveals any information she may have on her missing brother. Under the guise of a tourist simply on vacation, Yuē shū yà's plan works, convincing Annie of his friendship with Jackson and she agrees to have dinner with him. Although in the middle of their dinner, she politely lets Yuē shū yà know that she must leave for the hospital soon to visit her ill father. As she leaves, Yuē shū yà in an act of desperation, ask Annie if he could meet her father sighting that it would be an honor for him to meet the father of his sworn brother while he's here in Australia. Sympathetic to Yuē shū yà's want to honor her father, she agrees to take him, secretly wanting their date to continue. Once at the hospital, Annie greets her bedridden father as Yuē shū yà is met by Allen, one of Mr. Tsui's bodyguards. Annie introduces Yuē shū yà to everyone as Jackson's sworn brother to which Mr. Tsui warmly greets him although confused as to why his son had never told him about Yuē shū yà's existence. Sensing the lingering air of doubt stemming from Annie's words, Yuē shū yà chooses to admit his deception, instead of dragging out his charade, and confesses to being a Hong Kong Inspector, crushing Annie. He informs Mr. Tsui that his son is a wanted felon suspected of stealing a nuclear warhead and asks to speak privately with him to garner further information about his son and his possible whereabouts. Mr. Tsui agrees to talk with Yuē shū yà but admits that he hasn't seen his son in a long time, stating that even as he lays dying Jackson still hasn't come to see him. Mr. Tsui even goes so far as to disown his son, something that shocks Yuē shū yà. As he leaves the building, Yuē shū yà tries to apologize to Annie for the deception, to which she tries to slap him. Instinctively Yuē shū yà blocks the attack but is unable to evade her steel-toe laced kick to the shin. Annie questions why Yuē shū yà didn't lie to her father, believing that her father loves her brother the most and that he shouldn't have to die knowing what his favorite child has become. Before Yuē shū yà can respond, he is restrained by Mr. Tsui's bodyguards and told to leave by Annie, to which he begrudgingly agrees not wanting to cause a scene at the hospital. After staking out the hospital from the parking lot, Yuē shū yà trails Annie back to the oceanarium, where he witnesses her picking up a package from the front desk. However, before he can investigate further, he is alerted to the oceanirum's closing, which forces him to break in via an open window on the roof. Once inside he locates Annie and follows her into the Shark exhibit, where he tries to see where the diving Annie is going by immersing his face in the water. With his face fully emerged, Yuē shū yà is startled by an oncoming shark from the depths and trips into the adjacent exhibit. Spotting a fin peering from the water, he panics and swiftly swims to the safe rocks where it is revealed his pursuer is merely a harmless seal; much to his relief. Defeated and soaking wet, Yuē shū yà decides to dry off in his car as he waits for Annie to leave the oceanarium. His plan works and he is able to covertly place a tracker on her car as she rides off. However before he can follow after her, he is caught off guard and held at gun point by Jackson and forced to strip out of his clothes in the parking lot. Jackson then gives him the costume of the oceanarium's mascot to put on before forcing him to walk to a nearby park where he finally tells him the reason for forcing Yuē shū yà to strip down and change clothes. Jackson informs him that the FSB has been surveying Yuē shū yà from the start of his investigation in Australia, bugging  all the gifts he was given including his clothes, car, and hotel room. Yuē shū yà refuses to believe Jackson, but is faced with the harsh truth when he is forced to call Colonel Gregor who is then swiftly put on the phone with Jackson who demands double the payment for the nuclear war head before hanging up and giving back Yuē shū yà his shirt with the wire removed, confirming his words of betrayal. When Yuē shū yà asks why Jackson would steal the warhead for Colonel Gregor, he is told that the lesser he knows the safer he is and suggest that his and Gregor's dealings are beyond that of law enforcement. Processing this information, Yuē shū yà decides not to purse Jackson and instead walks back to the parking lot where he finds Colonel Gregor and the FSB searching through his belongings. Yuē shū yà and Gregor greet each other with rising tension as Yuē shū yà finds himself unable to trust him despite Gregor saving his life back in Ukraine. Gregor implores Yuē shū yà to not believe what Jackson has said, proclaiming that he is an expert in mind games and merely wants to drive a wedge between them as they get closer to thwarting his plans. Yuē shū yà is unmoved by Gregor's words asking him to explain the bugging of his clothes. Gregor states that he was merely looking out for him, but Yuē shū yà is dissatisfied with his answer. Wanting to return home, Yuē shū yà suggest that his job is done as he was tasked with finding Jackson and Jackson now has access to Gregor via the phone Jackson took from him, making him easy to find. Yuē shū yà informs the colonel that he will write a full report to his superiors back in Hong Kong as well as Gregor's superiors before quitting the mission, walking back to the hotel following an intense stare down with the colonel. The next morning as Yuē shū yà is preparing to leave the hotel in order to make his flight to Hong Kong, he is attacked by a 6′ 11 Russian hitman who kicks Yuē shū yà through a mirror, shattering the glass. After being tossed around by the gargantuan hitman, another comes through the door to join him. Yuē shū yà is able to fend them off and escape to the balcony but is soon cut off by the gunman from the helicopter that tried to kill him back in the Ukraine. After a brief scuffle with the hitmen, the outnumbered Yuē shū yà escapes by scaling down the hotel building and climbs into another guest room on a lower level before evacuating the hotel. With no money, and nowhere else to go, Yuē shū yà uses the last of his spare change to call Han, hoping he can find him a way out of the country and out of the nuclear conspiracy he found himself in. With Han promising to help in whatever way he can, Yuē shū yà hangs up and finds a place to sleep on the streets of the land down under. Upon awaking hours later, Yuē shū yà is shocked to discover that Mr. Tsui was murdered in his hospital bed last night and that police suspect Yuē shū yà was behind the killing. Wanting to clear his name, Yuē shū yà finds the Tsui's residence hoping to prove his innocence to Annie and the Australian police. However, despite his pleas of innocence, Yuē shū yà's words are unreceived as Allen and the rest of Tsui's men try and apprehend him. Yuē shū yà wrestles off the men restraining him before asking Annie where her brother is hiding, siting that Jackson can prove he is not her father's killer. Annie refuses his plea and proclaims that she knows it was Yuē shū yà who killed her father, prompting Allen and his men to initiate a fight with the Hong Kong Inspector. Yuē shū yà does his best to avoid fighting them, believing that fighting wouldn't prove his innocence, but is soon forced to defend himself with a cavalcade of items including tables, folding chairs, sticks, scaffolding, and a ladder. As more of Allen's men arrive to decisively outnumber Yuē shū yà, he decides that the upcoming brawl would prove meaningless and sits down on the ladder awaiting their attack. In a twist of circumstances, Jackson appears from the shadows to halt the groups fight, declaring Yuē shū yà's innocence. Although apprehensive, Allen and his men stand down, leaving Yuē shū yà and Jackson to talk in private. He tells Jackson that Gregor is most likely responsible for his father's death, wanting to force Jackson out of hiding and frame him. Jackson agrees, and upon Yuē shū yà's request, informs him about the history between himself and Gregor. Jackson explains that three years ago while he was collecting nuclear intelligence for the CIA, Gregor and members of the KGB discovered his activities and captured him along with his girlfriend Natasha, threatening to kill her if he didn't become a double agent; something he complied with in order to ensure Natasha's safety. Jackson would go on to report that Gregor is now the head of the Solntsevskaya Bratva, a Russian Mafia that makes use of Gregor's connections as an FSB officer to get away with their criminal enterprise. Yuē shū yà is stunned by this news, having not suspected Gregor of being a mafioso let alone the leader of an entire criminal organization, and still can't understand why Gregor would want to secure a nuclear warhead, as something that destructive would be a bit much, even for the Russian mafia. Jackson then answers Yuē shū yà's question, telling him that the warhead isn't for the mafia but to sell in order to secure oil franchises in the middle eastern countries. Hearing this, Yuē shū yà suggest that Jackson give the warhead to the police immediately, but Jackson refuses, proclaiming that he won't turn over the warhead until he is paid. As the two begin to get into a moral debate on the matter, a knock on the door is heard prompting Jackson to answer it. Once opened he is shocked to see Annie in tears, having overheard the entire conversation. She blames Jackson's greed for their father's death and vows to never forgive him prior to storming off. Before chasing after her, Jackson declares that he'll expose Gregor for what he is and give Yuē shū yà evidence of his crimes, but ask Yuē shū yà for his help in taking him down, to which he agrees. Over the next six days, Yuē shū yà, Jackson, Allen and his men devise a plan to stop Gregor and the Solntsevskaya Bratva, surmising that he would choose Mr. Tsui's funeral as a chance to strike out against them. As with the traditions of a well respected Chinese citizen, a large ceremony was held to celebrate Mr. Tsui's life. The bangs of fireworks heralded the start of the funeral, as musicians played their tin flutes and drums, and the White Lion dancers followed a rhythm so as to protect Mr. Tsui on his path to the afterlife; all while Yuē shū yà watched on disguised as one of the many stilt walkers. Yuē shū yà managed to blend in, although he did find exacerbated movement rather difficult with stilts straps strapped on to his feet, ankles, and knees. During the white lion dance the performers are able to identify Gregor in the crowd and surround him under the guise of the intricate dance, it is only when Jackson arrives out of the coffin being escorted that he realizes it is a trap. Jackson holds Gregor at gun point, getting him to confess to his father's murder, before the gun is shot out of his hand by one of Gregor's snipers. Finally able to see where the sniper is located, Yuē shū yà and the other stilt walkers holding umbrellas, simultaneously open them on his command, completely covering the sniper's field of vision and any clear shot he may have had. Knowing the predicament he is in, Gregor quickly tries to honor the deal he had previously made with Jackson, assuring him that if he gives him the warhead, he will give Jackson the money. This, however, infuriates Jackson who states that his father's life was worth more than any amount of money, Gregor could give him. As Jackson viciously grabs Gregor by the collar of his suit, Gregor reveals that he had successfully abducted Annie moments before the funeral service began. The news of Annie's capture land like a bombshell on Yuē shū yà and Jackson, derailing their plan. Using the height of his stilts, Yuē shū yà surveys the area and locates her near the top of a parking complex being held by the Ukrainian gunman from the helicopter fight. Yuē shū yà immediately leaves his position to rescue her, managing to get the jump on the gunman with a powerful kick, elongated by the length of the wooden stilt. He then convinces Annie to jump from the parking complex and catches her hands, before gently letting her down. As Annie runs, Yuē shū yà follows after her before being alerted to the gunman recovering from the kick to which Yuē shū yà swiftly kicks him back down. Unsteadily catching up with Annie, Yuē shū yà sees one of Gregor's men in pursuit of her, and manages to reach them in time to stop him with a well placed kick to the jaw. Meanwhile, a gun fight as erupted from where he left, Jackson and Gregor, with Gregor's men infiltrating the funeral ceremony and killing Allen's men. Seeing the gun fight escalate with the addition of a rocket launcher getting involved, Yuē shū yà instructs Annie to hide in the nearby mall. Yuē shū yà wants to help out with the gun fight and try to deescalate the situation, but decides against it, believing that he would just be a giant target and that his efforts would be best spent protecting Annie until he can remove his straps. With him now clumsily following behind her, he spots Annie running away from another one of Gregor's men and forcefully takes him down. Just as the duo believe they are safe, a runaway car comes crashing through the mall with reckless abandon. Trying to escape, Annie trips forcing Yuē shū yà to turn back and save her. Seeing no other option, Yuē shū yà grabs her and uses his height to place her safely on top of a stationary elevator as he can only wait for the car to mow him down. Fortunately for Yuē shū yà the car mainly damages his stilts effectively breaking them. The car then smashes through the other end of the mall as it makes it's great escape. Recovering from the fall, Yuē shū yà is alerted to another oncoming threat to Annie's life, as the elevator beings to ascend. No longer able to use his exaggerated height, he is forced to scramble together a plan to rescue her. However, as Yuē shū yà arrives atop the second floor, the police are already on the scene and manage to rescue her, Yuē shū yà and Annie then try to leave but are stopped by the police who want them to fill out a report on the incident. Yuē shū yà is extremely uncomfortable with talking to the cops as he knows it is only a matter of time before they recognize him as the suspect in Mr. Tsui's murder. Thinking on his feet, he pushes the two officers into the elevator and makes his escape with Annie. Annie leads Yuē shū yà to the oceanarium where she had previously hid the warhead upon Jackson request. As Annie changes into her swim gear, Yuē shū yà heads upstairs to make a long-distance call to Han and update him on the events that have transpired since they last talked. Yuē shū yà then heads back downstairs when he happens to arrive upon one of Gregor's men infiltrating the room. He and the 6'7 hitman engaged in a brawl with the latter being a skilled combatant in the Savate style. Nonetheless, Yuē shū yà is able to knock him into a tank of toxic sea urchins which immobilizes the hitman and allows him to rendezvous with Annie inside the shark exhibit. While waiting for Annie to resurface with the warhead, Gregor and his remaining men storm the exhibit, forcing Yuē shū yà to enter the shark filled waters without an oxygen tank. As the hitmen enter the deep waters with their oxygen tanks, Yuē shū yà uses the opportunity to steal some air before fighting off his pursers in the water two on one. He is able to defend himself for a while but due to the slow movements of his kicks and punches in the water, being out numbered begins to take effect as he is successfully overwhelmed and choked from behind. He is only given reprieve once the hitmen are alerted to a shark's lurking presence, leaving Yuē shū yà to fend for himself. Luckily for Yuē shū yà, the Shark purses the swimming hitmen who flee the waters. Yuē shū yà then manages to find Annie who gives him some of her oxygen. The hitmen soon return however with harpoons to hunt both the shark and them. This leads to another fight where Yuē shū yà defeats the Ukrainian gunman yet again, but is forced to rescue Annie who is attacked by another one of Gregor's men. The hitman takes the warhead from Annie and after getting some much needed oxygen, Yuē shū yà goes after him. As the two fight over the warhead and oxygen, the shark appears and Yuē shū yà is barely able to evade it although the hitman is unable too. Although startled at seeing a shark eat someone that could have easily been himself, he regains his composure and retrieves the warhead, yet he was still so on edge that when someone tapped his shoulder, he immediately attacked, punching Annie in the face. The duo are then blindsided by the Ukrainian gunman who grabs Yuē shū yà from behind. The gunman has the advantage until Annie knocks him in the back of the head with the warhead, freeing up Yuē shū yà and allowing him time to get oxygen. The gunman soon returns however, and pulls out a bowie knife, slashing Annie against the arm causing her to drop the warhead. Yuē shū yà  and the gunman continue to fight until he too is slashed across the hand causing blood to be drawn, enough to attract the attention of the shark. After evading the shark again, Yuē shū yà stops the gunman from picking up the warhead and manages to take the knife slashing him across both hands before unleashing a flurry of kicks upon him. Seeing Yuē shū yà defeat his right hand man and retrieve the warhead from the audience side of the exhibit, Gregor shoots the glass, flooding the lower level. His plan works as Yuē shū yà and Annie are separated in the confusion and she is once again taken hostage alongside the warhead. Yuē shū yà tires to follow but is cornered off by the shark who has finally honed in on Yuē shū yà's blood trail. He desperately tires to swim for it, barely making it to the other side. Noticing this, Gregor shoots open other glass mirrors holding back the water, further flooding the room and creating powerful pressurized hoses along his path. As Yuē shū yà looks for away around them, he is alerted to a group of women being hunted by the shark. Without hesitation, Yuē shū yà grabs a floating life preserver ring and attacks the shark with it grabbing it's attention. The shark then tries to bite him, but he is just able to block his bite with the life preserver ring, holding off the shark long enough for the women to escape. He follows after them, before leading a group of survivors past the pressurized water sprouts coming from the shot out glass. He is immediately overcome by the pure strength of the water but manages to fight through the pain and make it passed them. Finally making it out to the parking lot, he arrives just in time to see Annie being pulled on Gregor's boat as they flee. On land, Yuē shū yà chases after the boat before coming across a local sports car exhibition. Thinking fast, Yuē shū yà commandeers one of the empty vehicles, before using the ramp it was set up on as a way to jump the gap between himself and the boat. Yuē shū yà manages to stick the landing, albeit crashing into the boat and injuring himself. As he exist the car,  Yuē shū yà goes over to Gregor, who's legs are pinned down by the weight of the car and the debris from the crash, and takes the warhead out of his hands giving Gregor a deadly stare. Yuē shū yà then finds Annie and the two wait upon the deck of the ship as police helicopters arrive to apprehend them. Luckily for Yuē shū yà, Han was able to explain everything to the chief of police, and he was not arrested with Gregor. Days later Han comes to Australia to personally thank the police for their understanding and to escort Yuē shū yà home. Before their plane ride home however, the FSB arrive in Australia via a submarine and Yuē shū yà alongside Annie and Han, watch as Gregor and Jackson are brought into their custody. The FSB then personally salute Yuē shū yà, thanking him for his efforts on the case. Yuē shū yà soon bids goodbye to Annie who gives him a shark key chain to remember her by and finally returns home. On the 6 hour and 25 minute plane ride back to Hong Kong, Yuē shū yà vows to Han that he will never work with the CIA again.
==Police Story==
Eventually Yuē shū yà becomes an up-and-coming policeman in the Royal Hong Kong Police Force. During a major crack down on organized crime in Hong Kong he is part of "Operation Boar Hunt", an undercover sting operation to arrest Triad boss Chu Tao. While he and other undercover officers are surveilling a group of mobsters in a shanty town, a shoot-out begins as the gangsters spot the police. Chu Tao flees and attempts to escape in a double-decker bus while Yuē shū yà chases after him on foot. He eventually catches the bus and hangs on to using an umbrella but is thrown off. He then manages to get in front of the bus and bring it to a halt by threatening to shoot the driver with his service revolver. As he arrests Tao, he is offered a bribe to let him go, but refuses. Later, Yuē shū yà is reprimanded by Superintendent Li for letting the operation get out of hand, but is subsequently presented to the media as a model police officer. His next assignment is to protect Chu Tao's secretary, Selina Fong, who plans to testify in court about Chu Tao's illegal activities. At first, Selina insists that she does not require protection, but after Yuē shū yà has a fellow policeman break into her apartment and pose as a knife-wielding murderer, she becomes more cooperative. After Yuē shū yà and Selina leave her apartment later that evening, they are attacked by some street thugs, whom Yuē shū yà is able to defeat with his martial arts skills, though the fight leaves Selina's car a wreck. When Yuē shū yà arrives at his apartment with Selina, who is only wearing lingerie, he is surprised by his girlfriend, May and her friends, who are throwing a birthday party for him. May, seeing the scantily-clad Selina, misunderstands and becomes angry with Yuē shū yà, shoving the birthday cake into his face. Yuē shū yà is later able to explain to May that Selina is a witness, but only after much bumbling and further misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Selina has discovered that the attack by the man with knife at her apartment was a sham, and so she decides to not cooperate with Yuē shū yà. She sneaks away while Yuē shū yà is sleeping and is not present for the crucial court date the following day. Though Chu Tao is released on bail, he wants revenge against Yuē shū yà. Using a corrupt policeman, Inspector Man, Chu Tao is able to frame Yuē shū yà for the murder of an Inspector. Now a fugitive cop killer, Ka Kui must try to catch Chu Tao and clear his name. The action comes to a head in a shopping mall, where Chu Tao has an office. After surviving a murder attempt by Chu Tao's men to ensure her silence, Selina goes to the office to download incriminating data from Chu Tao's computer system. Chu Tao notices that the data is being dumped, and he and his men head to the shopping mall to intervene. Yuē shū yà, who's monitoring Chu Tao's activities, follows. In the ensuing fight, Yuē shū yà defeats all of Chu Tao's henchmen. The briefcase containing the computer data falls to the ground floor of the mall, but Chu Tao retrieves it. Yuē shū yà, at the top floor, leaps off a ledge and grabs a pole wrapped in lightbulbs. He rapidly slides down the pole, smashing through the bulbs, crashing through a glass ceiling, and finally reaching the floor, where he violently apprehends Chu Tao but is held back humorously by his two friends Tak and Kim to stop him from delivering one final kick to Chu Tao. 
=== Police Story 2 ===
After the events of what the media dubbed the “Glass Story” Yuē shū yà has been demoted to highway patrol as the result of his handling of his previous case. The new duty pleases his girlfriend, May, who is glad that her boyfriend is no longer taking difficult cases and has more time to see her. However, the happy mood changes when Yuē shū yà is greeted by Chu Tao and his bespectacled right-hand man, John Ko. It seems Chu Tao is terminally ill with only three months left to live, so he's been released from prison, and while he's still alive he vows to make life difficult for Yuē shū yà. John Ko and some henchmen show up at Yuē shū yà's apartment and intimidate him, baiting the policeman to attack. Later, May and her mother are beaten by John Ko and his men. Yuē shū yà can no longer hold back, and he lashes out against John Ko and his men at a restaurant. Ashamed of his behavior, Yuē shū yà resigns from the Police Force. He plans to take a trip to Bali with May, but while he's at a travel agency in a shopping mall, some police officers see him and report that the mall is under a bomb threat. Unable to resist the urge to get involved in police work, Yuē shū yà tells the officers to sound the fire alarm and have the mall cleared, and agrees to take responsibility for the decision. A bomb does indeed explode, and the entire mall is leveled by the blast. Yuē shū yà is praised for his efforts, and he is reinstated and assigned to solve the case of the bombing. He plants a covert listening device in the mall property company's office to try to learn more about the bombers. This leads to a suspect who is a deaf-mute and is a fierce martial artist and explosives expert. The bombing gang, aware that the police are on to them, plan a simultaneous bombing of the property company and the police headquarters. They double their ransom demand to $20 million and kidnap May, luring Yuē shū yà into a trap in which he's strapped with an explosive vest and forced to pick up the extortion money from the property company. However, after handing off the money, Yuē shū yà is able to drive his car into a tunnel so that the bomb he's wearing can't be activated, and he strips off the vest. He then goes to rescue May, who's being held in a warehouse full of fireworks. Yuē shū yà again faces the deaf-mute man, who throws small firebombs at him. Yuē shū yà then gains the upper hand and brutally retaliates against him, finally throwing him off a third storey catwalk onto a pile of plastic drums below. Yuē shū yà then rescues May and departs the warehouse, just as it explodes in a huge ball of fire.
== Tekken 2 ==
During this time Yuē shū yà becomes one of the most respected Hong Kong police detectives. A number of killings lead to the investigation of Kazuya Mishima, who was linked with several Triad and Mafia transactions across the globe. But Yuē shū yà lost his partner in an airplane crash and their suspect Bruce Irvin started working for Kazuya. Yuē shū yà vowed to track down the center of Kazuya's operations and retrieve Bruce. To further his inquiry, he enters the second King of Iron Fist Tournament! Bruce Irvin almost pushed Yuē shū yà to the brink of defeat in the King of Iron Fist tournament, but Yuē shū yà managed to come away victorious. Bruce's flight home was then reported crashed, killing all passengers aboard. It was rumored that Kazuya's corps were involved as a means of silencing Bruce. Yuē shū yà's investigation and intuition led him to believe the accident was staged, and he doubts that Bruce is really dead. After the last tournament, Yuē shū yà returned to his job as an investigator of international crime. Yuē shū yà is then practicing his shooting. He runs out of bullets, smiles and reloads. Yuē shū yà then fires more shots. There is a close up on the target, with bullet holes saying "The End?".
=== Police Story 3: Super Cop ===
2 years later Yuē shū yà is now the top officer of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, and is assigned by his supervisor, and Yuē shū yà's returning "Sifu" Doari, to take part in an Interpol operation in China. It's a dangerous assignment, and in order to keep his girlfriend May from worrying (and to protect the undercover nature of the mission), he tells her he is going for police training. In China, Yuē shū yà is introduced to the military police force's Interpol director, Jessica Yang, who briefs him on his assignment. The target of the mission is a drug lord named Chaibat. In order to infiltrate Chaibat's organization, the plan is to get close to his henchman, Panther, who is being held in a Chinese prison labor camp. Yuē shū yà, posing as a petty criminal, is able to help Panther escape with the aid of the Chinese military police, who eliminate Panther's men in the prison. Panther then meets up with some of his other men, and Yuē shū yà helps them escape to Hong Kong. Yang joins them, and the Chinese military police help them win Panther's trust by faking the murder of a policeman by Yang. In Hong Kong, Yuē shū yà, Yang and Panther go to Chaibat's luxurious hide out. Yuē shū yà and Yang succeed in winning Chaibat's trust, especially after helping his men destroy a fortified drug production lab in Thailand, somewhere in the Golden Triangle, when Chaibat betrays a number of other drug lords who are conducting a heroin deal with him. The action then shifts to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where Chaibat's wife is being held in prison, and is facing the death penalty. However, Chaibat needs to keep her alive because she knows the secret codes to his Swiss bank account, and she will not reveal them to anyone but her husband. More difficulties arise when Yuē shū yà happens to run into May at a Malaysian resort hotel. She confronts him, and the situation turns into a misunderstanding, with Panther believing that Yuē shū yà was trying to proposition a prostitute. Later, Yuē shū yà is able to corner May and explain the situation, and she calms down. But then, in an elevator, May tells a co-worker about Yuē shū yà, and one of Panther's men overhears her. May is taken hostage, and Yuē shū yà and Yang – their cover now blown – are forced to help Chaibat free his wife. Chaibat's scheme is successful, and May is released, as per their agreement. However, the exchange turns sour when Chaibat pushes May from his helicopter. Furious, Yuē shū yà and Yang refuse to let Chaibat and his men escape. An elaborate stunt-filled action sequence begins that covers the roads, rooftops, and skies of Kuala Lumpur, finally reaching its climax aboard a speeding train, where Chaibat is killed after his helicopter collides into a tunnel and lands on him. Yang and Yuē shū yà finally succeed in apprehending Chaibat's wife.
== Tekken 3 ==
Now known as Yuē shū yà the Supercop, he's feared internationally by even the most powerful of crime organizations. Falling within his jurisdiction are the strange disappearances of prominent martial artists. During these investigations, Yuē shū yà was visited by the head man of the MFE, Heihachi Mishima. He asked Yuē shū yà to join the "King of Iron Fist Tournament 3". Why Heihachi would seek him out for a mere tournament was beyond Yuē shū yà. A believer in fate, Yuē shū yà feels there's a reason for this meeting. However Yuē shū yà learned from an informant that the syndicate was plotting to assassinate a boxer participating in the King of Iron Fist Tournament. The syndicate apparently hired an assassin for the hit. Yuē shū yà thought that he could gain valuable information from the boxer about the syndicate. If all went as planned, he could also capture the assassin and establish a plausible connection between the assassin and the syndicate. Yuē shū yà reasoned that this would aid efforts to bring the syndicate down. Yuē shū yà then entered the Tournament. During the Tournament, Yuē shū yà headed to the Mishima Zaibatsu data-center to dig up information on the Syndicate's hired assassin (Nina Williams), where he finds that she is currently in Hotel Leanne. About a day or so later, Yuē shū yà is at the hotel ready to stop Nina from carrying out the Syndicate's plans. He busts open the door yelling, "Freeze!". Nina fires a couple of shots which are dodged by Yuē shū yà. Yuē shū yà goes back into the room and sees that Nina has escaped. Thinking fast, Yuē shū yà slides down a drainage pipe and runs across the street. When he reaches, he notices that Nina and Steve are staring at each other. Yuē shū yà then yells "Freeze" again and Steve helps Nina escape, tackling Yuē shū yà. Yuē shū yà fires two shots and one hits Nina in the leg. Steve then disarms Yuē shū yà and runs.
=== Police Story 4: First Strike ===
After this Yuē shū yà is recruited by the American Central Intelligence Agency. Whilst working for the CIA, he is kidnapped by Russia's Federal Security Service and taken to Moscow where he discovers he's been assigned to work with a Colonel Gregor to solve a case involving nuclear weapons being smuggled out of Ukraine. His task is to track Tsui, a Chinese American nuclear scientist with CIA links who is suspected of involvement. He's taken by a Russian submarine to Brisbane, Australia, where Tsui's attractive younger sister, Annie Tsui, works at an aquarium doing shark shows. Uncle 7, the Tsuis' father and the local Triad boss, is seriously ill, and Yuē shū yà suspects the criminal will show up soon. Unbeknown to Yuē shū yà, Tsui is hiding at the hospital, and has given a nuclear warhead to Annie, who hides it at the aquarium. Whilst following Annie, Yuē shū yà gets to meet the aquarium animals and is kidnapped by Tsui, who claims to have a deal with Colonel Gregor. Yuē shū yà decides to return home, but two toughs are sent to kill him, and he is framed for the murder of Uncle 7. He attempts to clear his name by going to see Annie at the memorial hall, but he is, unsurprisingly, unwelcome, and Tsui has to rescue him. Tsui explains that Gregor caught him on a CIA assignment three years before, and forced him to turn into a triple agent: a CIA agent ostensibly turned by the KGB/FSB, but in reality serving Gregor's private criminal schemes. Annie, Yuē shū yà and Tsui decide to work together to fight Gregor. Uncle 7's elaborate Chinatown funeral then becomes the scene for a complex showdown between the various parties, resulting in Tsui's death. Annie and Yuē shū yà attempt to retrieve the stolen warhead from the shark pool so that they can return it to the police, but Gregor and his toughs follow them, leading to a climactic confrontation underwater. While Gregor escapes with the weapon and Annie as hostage, Yuē shū yà comes up with an unusual plan that allows him to recover the weapon and return it to the proper authorities, while Annie makes her escape.
=== Hell on Earth ===
After the success of his international assignment Yuē shū yà' s life was consumed as usual by police work. Unfortunately for Yuē shū yà, May got fed up with his workaholic lifestyle and dumped him in favor of Yuē shū yà's assistant. Ironically, the assistant acted as a liaison for Yuē shū yà whenever she wanted to get in touch with him at work. When Yuē shū yà found out about this, he became extremely depressed. To get away from it all he accompanied Dorai to brazil and helped Dorai's investigation against the Mishima Zaibatsu. However as Yuē shū yà returns from a day of sight seeing he finds Dorai shot and dying. He recalled that Dorai had been unusally nervous and fearful in recent weeks. Dorai untimely death occurred just when he had obtained enough evidence to put Heihachi Mishima away for good. In his last breaths, Dorai told Yuē shū yà “ Now is not the time to fight. Falsely admit to the crime and hide in prison. Only there will you be safe.” Yuē shū yà went along with his sifu's last wish and the Super Cop went from a life of stopping crime to incarceration as a murderer. Prison life was hell and not a day went by that Yuē shū yà didn't vow to get even with his father's killers. One day during a prison riot he watched an old man with great power fighting with a technique he called Capoeira. For two years Yuē shū yà practiced until he became a master and could be considered a lethal weapon. While in prison, Yuē shū yà swore an oath to the master to pass on the art of Capoeira to his granddaughter. Soon after he was released as he was proven innocent by finding a second pair of fingerprints on Dorai, and Yuē shū yà's record was wiped clean. Upon his release Yuē shū yà sought out the Master's granddaughter Christie Montiero, and taught her the art of Capoeira, just as he promised. However Yuē shū yà and Christe begin to fall for one another, but their love is put on hold as Yuē shū yà journeys to America in search of more clues as too who killed Dorai.
=== One More Movie ===
Although he instead has a chance in counter with his American bestfriend Chris Tucker, and after they catch up, Tucker convinces Yuē shū yà to do one more movie. Yuē shū yà then filmed the next installment of the Rush Hour trilogy, Rush Hour 3 which was not only a come back for Yuē shū yà but also for Tucker who had not stared in a Hollywood production since Rush Hour 2. Rush Hour 3 grossed $255,045,928 worldwide and was a Box Office Success. Producers then went on to capitalize on Yuē shū yà's return to cinema and he stared in the American made film, The Forbidden Kingdom which co-stared China's New Action Star Channie Jack. When the two martial arts veterans (Yuē shū yà and Jack) did film action scenes together for the first time, they both expressed how easy it was to work with one another. Yuē shū yà explained: I have not worked with someone whom I'm comfortable with, in terms of movements, rhythm and natural reactions, in the last 13 years. I have done many fight scenes with others but there were usually more than 10 takes, which is a waste of time as the person may forget his moves and unnecessary injuries. When I fought with Jack, our actions were quick. We also didn't have to do the same stunt over 20 times. Yuē shū yà and Christe then leave Los Angeles to begin filming The Karate Kid, a remake of the original, in Beijing. The film was released in America on June 11th and sees Yuē shū yà's first dramatic American film. In the film, he plays Mr. Han, a kung fu master and maintenance man who teaches Jaden Smith's character, Dre, kung-fu so he can defend himself from school bullies.
=== Thrist for Revenge ===
Once back in China Yuē shū yà decided that it was time to find his Dorai's killer, Yuē shū yà then dissapered into the streets leaving Christie only with the words, "I must seek vengeance against the enemy responsible for the death of my sifu". After his vigilantism he found out that the killer of Dorai was Heihachi, he didn't know how to approach this and took it one day at a time to think out his plan of revenge. Yuē shū yà then returns to the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and goes back home to Christie and proposes to her.
=== New Police Story ===
Not long after his return Yuē shū yà is promoted to Inspector. In his next case Inspector Yuē shū yà, disguises himself as a news cameraman in order to subdue a man holding a woman hostage in Central Hong Kong. Soon after that incident, a group of rich, rebellious youths rob a bank. They explicitly ask a bank worker to call the police, and are confronted by the police outside the Legislative Council building. They play a sadistic game, in which they are awarded money for shooting police officers, before making their escape. Inspector Yuē shū yà and his squad are called to arrest the gang after their hideout is revealed. However, the hideout is rigged and the ten man police squad fall into various traps one by one. Yuē shū yà then finds his men in a large warehouse, suspended from the high ceiling by ropes. The gang challenges him to training regimes that are taught to policemen, betting lives of his men each time. Under mental pressure and the taunts of the gang, Yuē shū yà loses and is left with only his would-be brother-in-law Tiger Jackson to save, who soon dies nevertheless. He tries to save the bodies of his comrades for burial before explosives blow up the building. Being the sole survivor of the incident, Yuē shū yà takes a year-long leave from the police force, leaves Christie stranded in Hong Kong with $50,000 and begins drinking heavily to drown his sorrows and guilt. Yuē shū yà is next seen highly intoxicated drinking one whiskey after another. Later, he collapses in an alley, and is found by a stranger. The stranger brings him home. When Yuē shū yà wakes up, the man identifies himself as PC 1667, Hon Fu, his new partner. Hon tries various means to convince Yuē shū yà cancel his leave and take up the case but Yuē shū yà refuses. However, he comes to his senses eventually by apprehending the same two youths that robbed him. At the police station, Hon tells Yuē shū yà that he is Kwong's younger brother, which convinces Yuē shū yà to relook into the case. It is then revealed that Joe, the leader of the gang, is the spoiled son of the police chief. As he was beaten and handcuffed by his father in his childhood, Joe holds a grudge against the police. Hon and Yuē shū yà convinces Wong Sum, a former colleague, to reveal a clue from the night of the robbery; a watch which he snatched from one of the robbers. Yuē shū yà and Hon are tailed by the police as they go in search of the owner of the watch. Wong Sum was also arrested by the police to assist in the investigation. Wong Sum is shot dead by another gang member, Fire, before he manages to identify the robber (Sue). Before dying, Wong Sum confesses to Yuē shū yà that he betrayed their plans to the gang before the police took action. Fire and Sue both manage to escape the building, with Yuē shū yà and Hon pursuing Fire. To distract Yuē shū yà, Fire shoots at a bus driver, killing him instantly and rendering the bus full of schoolkids out of control. Yuē shū yà quickly jumps onto the roof of the bus in an attempt to stop it. After the careening bus has caused a great deal of havoc, Yuē shū yà finally manages to climb in and hit the brakes, halting it from falling into Victoria Harbour, while Hon rams a truck full of rubber ducks in front of the bus' path. After the incident, Yuē shū yà discovers that Hon is not really a policeman, and confronts him. Hon attempts to explain to Yuē shū yà, but Yuē shū yà refuses to buy the story. Regardless, they stay together to continue to track the gang leader, Joe. They are informed by Officer Sa Sa that the gang members all come from rich families and the gang leader is actually the son of the police chief. Sue and Fire return to the gang's new hideout. Sue is badly wounded, having been shot by Hon earlier. Seeing her injury, Joe tearfully shoots her in order to protect their identities. Joe's gang access Yuē shū yà's police file on a computer, with Joe bent on taking revenge. Joe then arranges to meet Yuē shū yà's former Fiance, Christie, in the police station. He wraps a time bomb around her neck before leaving. When Yuē shū yà learns of the bomb he desperately tries to free her. Christie cuts the wires, with no effect, leading the police to believe that it is a fake. But when the two get ready to leave, a small wire attached to Christie's back pulls out the secondary trigger, causing the bomb to explode. Before she can escape, it explodes and some falling pipes land on her, knocking her into a coma. Yuē shū yà is charged with acting as a cop while under suspension as well as helping Hon impersonate an officer and is imprisoned in the police station, along with Hon. After Yuē shū yà and Hon are taunted by Joe's gang, Sa Sa and her father, the jailer, releases both of them illegally. The two sneak out of the police station, with everyone deliberately ignoring their escape. Police Commander Chiu Chan even makes his handgun available to Yuē shū yà and tells Yuē shū yà “bring it back when you're done”. Yuē shū yà, Hon, and Sa Sa then go to a computer cafe to find teens playing the game up until they complete the most recent level to find out the gang's next target - the Bank of Hong Kong, located in the New Wing of the Convention and Exhibition Centre. A squad of police officers arrive, but this time Yuē shū yà stops them from rushing in, assigning them the task of calmly escorting the public out of the building. Once the public are moved to safety, the gang members' parents are sent in, much to their surprise. One of the gang members, Max, is so ashamed of himself that he attempts to run down the escalators to his parents, only to be shot dead by Joe. Afterwards, Yuē shū yà and Hon run up to engage the three remaining gang members. Frank manages to shoot Fire in the leg with his own gun, disabling him. Yuē shū yà chases another gang member, Tin Tin, into a Lego exhibition. When the exhibition hall is emptied, Yuē shū yà reminds him that they struck a draw the last time they fought. The two engage in hand-to-hand combat, with Yuē shū yà defeating Tin Tin. Joe then chases Hon into the hall and shoots at him. In the crossfire, Tin Tin is shot in the chest. Joe manages to chase Hon out of the room just moments before the Special Duties Unit of the police arrive. Tin Tin grabs a gun from the floor and points it at Yuē shū yà's back. Yuē shū yà, oblivious to what's happening behind him, calls out to the squad to bring in a medic for the Tin Tin. Contemplating what he has done and how Yuē shū yà is helping him, he decides not to shoot him. Yuē shū yà finds Joe on the roof of the Convention Centre. Having captured and tied up Hon, Joe threatens to throw him to his death. Joe challenges Yuē shū yà to a race to assemble a semi-automatic pistol, a rematch of an earlier challenge, wagering Hon's life in the process. This time, Yuē shū yà swiftly wins the game, much to Joe's disbelief. A number of policemen arrive on the roof, along with Joe's father, the police chief. Joe's father reprimands him, while Yuē shū yà tells Joe that he knows that he doesn't hate cops, but he actually hates his father for berating him. Due to what Yuē shū yà and his father have said, Joe finally admits defeat and deliberately unloads the single bullet in his gun and aims the empty gun at Yuē shū yà for the police to have a cause to kill Joe. Not knowing that Joe's gun is empty, a police sniper then fires a round at him, injuring Joe in the process. He weeps and again aims it at his father, causing the sniper to fire once more, killing him. Yuē shū yà rushes to rescue Hon, and both of them fall off the building. They eventually land onto a fireman's inflated cushion. In the hospital, Christie has recovered and prepares to leave. She is met by several policemen and nurses who persuade her to accept Yuē shū yà's marriage proposal. At first, she tries to hide her facial scars from Yuē shū yà, but eventually accepts the proposal to the crowd's applause. Meanwhile, Hon is led away by Officer Sa Sa. He leaves his jacket on a railing. When Yuē shū yà looks at the jacket, he suddenly recalls meeting Hon before, and has a flashback to an event from years ago: A homeless man from the mainland arrives without much money, and his son is starving. He tries to steal some food for his son from a 7-Eleven store. While running across the road to escape from the shopkeeper and the police, he is knocked down by a truck and killed. Yuē shū yà arrives at the scene and uses his jacket to cover the body of the boy's father. Yuē shū yà then buys the boy a loaf of bread. He comforts him, saying that the best thing do is to try to forget the past and look forward to the future. He asks the boy for his name, to which the boy replies, "Hon Fu". Yuē shū yà managed to convince Police Chief Kwong to drop the charges if Hon can pass the police examination test. Yuē shū yà then spends the next two weeks with Hon helping him prepare. Hon passes the test and is eligible to become an officer. Yuē shū yà and Hon would then continue to work together as partners.
==Tekken 5==
Yuē shū yà once again made headlines after arresting several members of the Syndicate at the close of his case. Yuē shū yà soon became interested in a string of attacks on martial arts training halls throughout China and started an investigation into the matter. Among the victims were several renowned Kung Fu masters that Yuē shū yà knew personally. Yuē shū yà poured all of his effort into the investigation but the attacks stopped abruptly and the trail went cold. One day, Yuē shū yà received a report that several similar attacks had occurred on dojos in Japan. It was then that Yuē shū yà began to suspect the events were linked and that the perpetrator would surely be at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Several days later, Yuē shū yà decides to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 with Christie. Near the end of the tournament Yuē shū yà had to choose between his duty and his revenge, he choose duty and left Kazuya to fight Feng Wei and defeated him. Yuē shū yà then had him in custody, but Bruce Irvin had hit him with a lethal elbow to the back of his head. 
==Tekken 6==
2 years later he was still in pursuit of Feng Wei for his criminal offenses, the military sends Yuē shū yà to Japan. As the trail for Feng Wei is unsuccessful, Yuē shū yà is helpless, and he returns to Hong Kong. With China in utter chaos and riots happening frequently, Yuē shū yà grew impatient. Yuē shū yà knew the true reason for the riots were cause of the Mishima Zaibatsu. In an attempt to arrest Bo Kazama, Yuē shū yà decided to go undercover. However Yuē shū yà was then told by Christie that her grandfather was about to be freed from prison after a long incarceration. Yuē shū yà would hold off the undercover assignment and him and Christie went to the brizillan prison to meet Mr. Monterio but instead found a frail old man that was only a shadow of the strong Capoeira master they once knew. Upon taking his master to a hospital, Yuē shū yà was told Mr. Monterio had an incurable illness and had less than six months to live. However, the doctor does tell him that it may be possible to discover a cure if they had access to the technology and resources of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Yuē shū yà now determined to infiltrate the Zaibatsu, takes the undercover assignment, and managed to speak alone with Bo Kazama. Bo offered to lend him his money and resources to find a cure for Yuē shū yà's master's illness, if Yuē shū yà joined the Tekken Force. Yuē shū yà joins the Tekken Force, and he is involved with a number of military operations just as The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 approaches. His main job during the tournament is to fight challengers who try to take down Bo. Yuē shū yà took down many challengers including Feng Wei but lost to a man named Lars. At the end of it all Bo allowed Yuē shū yà to arrest him only to “Escape” from police custody. Christie is then shown standing at a grave with a coffin that hasn't been buried yet. Her grandfather has died. Christie places both hands together and weeps for her fallen grandpa. Suddenly, Yuē shū yà arrives and stands next to her. Christie slaps him in the face asking him where he was, but then gives up and places her hands and head onto his chest as she cries. Yuē shū yà clenches his fist and throws his badge to the ground, breaking it slightly. Yuē shū yà then quits the force and lives with Christie full time.
==Training Mind, Body, and Spirit==
A year later a man named Raiden came and offered him a chance to get revenge on the one who killed his tribe 19 years ago; Shao Khan. At first Yuē shū yà was just going to go into Outworld “kicking ass and taking names” but he was warned by Raiden that if he was to do that he would surly be killed. This made Yuē shū yà cautious and he had to think strategiclly. Raiden also told him that he would need to release his inner Native being that was laying dormant inside him. Yuē shū yà started to remember his Shaman Predecessor's teachings and after months of vigorious training he was able to connect with Raiden through visions. It was also during this time that he began to train Jaden Smith in real life after Jaden seeks to learn how to really fight as to be beliveable as an action star. In two years time Jaden's training was done and Yuē shū yà is absolutely in tune with all things spiritual. He is able to manifest a bow and arrows created from spirit energy, and wields tomahawks of the same nature. He can empower his tomahawks with an ethereal green flame, or channel lightning into them for fatalities. Even daggers of spirit energy have been added to his arsenal.
==Mortal Kombat 3==
Yuē shū yà is then warned of the coming invasion of Earthrealm by a vision from Raiden. As such, he was fully aware and prepared for the events as they occurred, including the attacks of Kahn's extermination squads although he is still unable to save Christie in his own home which he protected through shamanic magic. He would soon be joined by the other chosen warriors. Together, they then traveled back to the East Coast, prepared for battle against the emperor and his minions, and won.
=== Good-Bye Earthrealm ===
After this the inhabitants of Earthrealm are revived and Christie along with them. He then goes to find Christie preparing to give up on his vengace and offically settle down with her. However she is gone and once again Yuē shū yà becomes defeated emotinally he wishes to leave his life behind him entirely and disappears off the face of the Earth.
=== Yuē shū yà: Shaman of the Realms ===
Yuē shū yà then goes from realm to realm perfecting his shamanic powers as well as trying to understand each Realm in it's own right. One year later he meets a middle aged man named Shujinko and taught him how to purify his soul.
==Mortal Kombat: Deception==
Two years later he is in Outworld and he views a vision of the Dragon King and his resurrection in his dreams. These nightmares recurred constantly, and Yuē shū yà came to recognize them as a warning. He knew that a new evil threat was about to arise from the ashes, and in view of Reptile's transformation into Onaga, his predictions most assuredly came true. The method that Yuē shū yà would use to destroy Onaga was one passed down to him by his forefathers. This method was that of the "Sin Eater", which involved absorbing the sins of his tribe. However, there was a terrible consequence to be considered in taking on such a role. If he were to do this, he would be a danger to all that surrounded him, including his allies. Hence, he made the decision to destroy Onaga on his own, keeping his allies out of harm's way. His role as a Sin Eater would involve entering the Netherrealm, drawing Onaga's soul to him, and releasing the absorbed sins of his ancestors, which would bind Onaga to the spot. After Shujinko defeated Onaga in Outworld, Yuē shū yà took the opportunity to execute his plan. His method was successful and he managed to separate Reptile from Onaga, and bind the Dragon King to the Netherrealm. It would be Shujinko, Yuē shū yà's former student, who assisted him in ending the threat of the Dragon King. After completing his quest, he was guided back to Earthrealm by his spirit guides - a pack of wolves.
==Mortal Kombat: Armageddon==
Yuē shū yà then began to receive visions of a battle, where an unknown power was forcing the participating warriors to fight each other. His visions started to become reality, when he spoke with a corrupt Raiden who told Yuē shū yà of Armageddon, and the destruction it could bring. Dedicated to protecting all the realms he joins the Forces of light and tries to stop the fire creature know as Blaze's reckoning. During the Battle of Armageddon, Yuē shū yà shoots the Shokan Queen Sheeva with an arrow, and tires to subdue her along with Ermac but they are defated by her. After the warrior known as Taven defeats Blaze the godlike energy passed through him, transforming him into a full god. The surge of power then passed through the armor given to him by his mother and was dispersed into every kombatant within the crater. The result was intended to strip them of their special powers, but Blaze had been corrupted long ago by the Dragon King Onaga's holy men. Instead of nullifying the kombatants' power, it made them stronger than before. As the energy of Blaze coursed through Yuē shū yà it embedded him with the power to be an ultimate Shaman. Yuē shū yà then joinsForrest Masters and their allies, and agreed to assist them in battle against Shinnok and his forces. He along with Forrest and Raiden sent him to impersionment for all time. Eventually, Yuē shū yà was met by Kitana and the spirit of Bo. The bond that the two of them shared was enough for Kitana to keep Bo's spirit whole, until a way was found for him to rejoin with his body. Still drained after using his shamanic powers on Onaga, Yuē shū yà used what magic he could to relieve Kitana of her burden, and took on the responsibility of looking after Bo's spirit.
== Mortal Kombat: The Netherrealm War ==
== Yuē shū yà: The Ultimate Shaman==
After 3 years Yuē shū yà is able to channle The power he received from Battle of Armageddon and it carried him to the spirit world, an existence between realms from which shamanic power originates. He became a living ghost -- the ultimate shaman! Yuē shū yà found his ally Bo lost in the spirit energy and guided him back to the physical world. Yuē shū yà then reunited Bo with his body. Yuē shū yà then went back to Earthrealm and journeyed to Brazil only to find Christie with her new husband and children. Yuē shū yà then returns to Outworld where he finds the Edenian traitor Tanya alone and cold. Upon seeing him she wanted to fight but Yuē shū yà purified her soul and she returned to a life of good. They then move to Edenia where Yuē shū yà would serve as Hand to the King, but in Bo absents, The Queen. Yuē shū yà would soon meet and befriend an Edenian named Joshua to which of whom he was taught the complete and full version of Hitenryu, consisting of Imperial arts (Wuxingquan and Zuiquan) , Jeet Kune Do, Dorai Gung-Fu, Capoeira, and Vale Tudo. Druing this time Yuē shū yà and Tanya would have a son named Nikorasu. Nikorasu was born premature but Yuē shū yà saved his son from death. From the age of three Yuē shū yà trained Nikorasu in Hitenryu. When Nikorasu was 6 Yuē shū yà sent him to his old friend Rokutaro, when he noticed how much Nikorasu longed to go to the realm his father defended so valiantly.
==Defenders Of the Realms==
It would be thirty years before they saw one another again and in between that time Yuē shū yà would become Raiden's second in command and bestfriend. Together they formed the Defenders of the Realms a team of warriors consisting of Amy (the daughter of Kurtis Jackson Guile), Jax (the son of Kurtis Jackson Guile), Shun (the son of Bo), Kitana (the mother of Shun and wife of Bo) and Yuē shū yà's son Nikorasu. They formed the Defenders becuse in 6 months time the next Mortal Kombat tournament will take place and it’s host is Tenman Khan the son of Shao Kahn, who seeks revenge against his father's murder and uncle, Raiden. Raiden fears that his evil nephew might try to invade Earthrealm before the tournament just like his father, and that at all cost they must stop him. Yuē shū yà served to offer both spiritual and technical help, having experience with computer technology. Being 74 years old he only fought a few times, spending most of his time back at base monitoring Earthrealm and looking for dimensional rips. Yuē shū yà also had a pet wolf named Kiva, which Yuē shū yà spilt half of his Shamanic power with. However Kiva could merge with Yuē shū yà to increase his power turning him into the Ultimate Shaman.
==Mortal Kombat: Rebirth==
Yuē shū yà fights during the next Mortal Kombat tournament. When Scorpion the 3rd is brought out to fight, Yuē shū yà is his second opponent. Scorpion believes that Yuē shū yà dishonors his kind by not seeking retribution, and defeats him in battle. Yuē shū yà then remains a spectator throughout the tournament and sees Shun successfully defeat Maho Tsukai, Kung Lao the 3rd defeat the deadly alliance of Maho Tsukai and Quian Chi, and his eventual tournament victory. However Yuē shū yà also bears witness to Tenma Khan's rampage as he kills Kung Lao the 3rd , rips off Jax's arms and punches a hole through Sub Zero the 3rd . Yuē shū yà would then watch Shun kill Tenma and officially earn victory for Earthrealm. Yuē shū yà would then take part in the war for to stop Tenma's reserection, simply known as Rebirth. Yuē shū yà would help lead the Earthrealm warriors to victory in the battle. During the war between realms Yuē shū yà, Nikorasu, and Raiden fight 200,000 Cyborgs, and during the scuffle the demon known as Onryo telekineticly picked up and slammed Yuē shū yà on the ground, Nikorasu then readies his sword but his father tells him “stand down son” he then redirects his attention to Onryo and says “mere speed and skill will not win this war, Onryo. Now you shall see the ULTIMATE SHAMAN!!!” as Yuē shū yà charges at Onryo like a raging bull , Nikorasu hears his father mumble “ancestors give me strength”. Yuē shū yà would go on to kill Onryo. As Yuē shū yà finished his fight with Onryo he immediately went to his dying son, and healed him right before his final breath. With the War won The Warriors celebrate, mere hours later Quan Chi reappears. Seeing that all of the earth’s warriors are drunk and having visions of the earth warriors deaths Yuē shū yà starts to run towards Quan Chi in an attempt to stop him. Yuē shū yà battles Quan Chi and defeats him, and then is attacked by Tundra. Yuē shū yà defeats Tundra and launches him into the Soulnado Quan Chi was using to collect the souls of all the fallen warriors, causing it to disappear.
=== Death ===
Yuē shū yà then returns to the Earth warriors with the news, but Raiden sees that his nephew Tenma is a controlled servant for Quan Chi. Yuē shū yà then kisses his wife with the same passion of their first kiss, and then says “I love you now and forever in this life and the next”. As Tenma begins to almost kill the Earth warriors. Yuē shū yà then faces Tenma, and eventually is forced to sacrifice his life to kill Tenma. Right before he sacrificed himself he has a emotional telepathy conversation with Bo and Forrest and told them “ It was an honor fighting alongside with you guys. Without you guys I’d still be an actor fighting in movies and on the streets, you two brought my life adventure and I’m sorry we didn’t have enough time to catch up over the years good-bye old friends”. He also had a very emotional telepathic conversation with Raiden telling him “It... was an honor serving you. You gave me the keys to restore my rightful heritage. Raiden you are and will always be by best friend. May the spirits be with you”. Yuē shū yà then has the most emotional talk with his son Nikorasu “I know I haven’t always been there for you but you’re my son and I love you, I’ll never leave you again, I promise. I’ll look down on you from the heavens and will journey through the Netherrealm to fight by your side if you ever need me. Good-bye my son, until we meet again. I...Love...You”. In this moment Yuē shū yà then makes Nikorasu cry and shout “Father!!!!!!!!”. After this display of affection the other warriors Yuē shū yà talked to break down and cry, even the Thunder God Raiden. Raiden then seeing the height and width of the explosion and knowing the power of which Yuē shū yà contained he opens a portal to earthrealm protecting everyone from the explosion's destructive power.
==Legacy==
Yuē shū yà is forever remembered for saving everyone and is immortalized in the Edenian national anthem. Yuē shū yà would be mourned by all who adored and knew him, as he had been for years in Earthrealm when he first dissappeared. They remade Yuē shū yà's first movie and it was dedicated to him. There was a reality television series entitled The Disciple. The series was produced by, and featured Wille Chan. The aim of the program was to find a new star, skilled in acting and martial arts, to become Yuē shū yà's "successor". Contestants were trained by Yuē shū yà's Stunt Team members Alan Wu and He Jun and competed in various fields, including explosion scenes, high-altitude wire-suspension, gunplay, car stunts, diving, obstacles courses etc. The regular judges on the program were He Ping, Wu Yue and Cheng Pei-pei. Guest judges include Stanley Tong, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. The "Finals" began on April 5th , with 16 contestants remaining, and concluded on June 26th . Amongst those in attendance were Tsui Hark, John Woo, Ng See-yuen and Yu Rongguang. The winner of the series was Jack Tu (Tu Sheng Cheng). Along with runners up Yang Zheng and Jerry Liau, Tu is now set to star in three modern Chinese action films, one of which was scripted by Yuē shū yà, and all three will be co-produced by Yuē shū yà's company YWE Movies Limited. The films will be entitled Speedpost 206, Won't Tell You, Tropical Tornado, 'and 'Police Story 2013 'which was based off of Yuē shū yà 's life as a police officer. The films will be directed by Xie Dong, Jiang Tao and Cai Rong Hui. All 16 finalists will be given the opportunity to work on the films, or to join the Yuē shū yà Stunt Team. During his time alive he has received worldwide recognition for his acting, having won several awards including an Innovator Award from the American Choreography Awards and a lifetime achievement award from the Taurus World Stunt Awards. He has stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars. In addition, Yuē shū yà Yuē shū yà has also been honoured by placing his hand and footprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Yuē shū yà is a cultural icon, having been referenced in Ash's song "Kung Fu", Heavy Vegetable's "Yuē shū yà Wulong Is a Punk Rocker", Leehom Wang's "Long Live Chinese People", as well as in "Yuē shū yà Wulong" by Frank Chickens, and television shows Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, Celebrity Deathmatch and Family Guy. A number of video games have featured Yuē shū yà. Yuē shū yà Wulong's Action Kung Fu was released for the PC-Engine and NES. Yuē shū yà was featured in the arcade fighting game Yuē shū yà Wulong The Kung-Fu Master. In addition, a series of Japanese games were released on the MSX by Pony, based on several of Yuē shū yà's films (Project A, Project A 2, Crime Story, Rumble in the Bronx and Dragons Forever). Yuē shū yà always wanted to be a role model to children, and has remained popular with them due to his good-natured acting style. He has refused to play villains and has been very restraint in using swear words in his films – he persuaded the director of Rush Hour to take "fuck" out of the script. Yuē shū yà's greatest regret in life is not having received proper education, inspiring him to fund educational institutions around the world. He funded the construction of the Yuē shū yà Wulong Science Centre at the Australian National University and the establishment of schools in poor regions of China. Yuē shū yà was a spokesperson for the Government of Hong Kong, appearing in public service announcements. In a Clean Hong Kong commercial, he urged the people of Hong Kong to be more considerate with regards to littering, a problem that has been widespread for decades. Furthermore, in an advertisement promoting nationalism, he gave a short explanation of the March of the Volunteers, the national anthem of the People's Republic of China. When Hong Kong Disneyland opened , Yuē shū yà participated in the opening ceremony. In the United States, Yuē shū yà appeared alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in a government advert to combat copyright infringement and made another public service announcement with Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca to encourage people, especially Asians, to join the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. When Yuē shū yà was younger he had been known for his constverial statements such as when during a news conference in Shanghai on March 28th , Yuē shū yà referred to the recently concluded Republic of China presidential election in Taiwan, in which Democratic Progressive Party candidates Chen Shui-bian and Annette Lu were re-elected as President and Vice-President as "the biggest joke in the world." A Taiwanese legislator and senior member of the DPP, Parris Chang, called for the government of Taiwan to ban his films and bar him the right to visit Taiwan. Some 50 police and security personnel were required to separate protesters from Yuē shū yà, who attempted to spit at him when he arrived at Taipei airport on June 18th . Yuē shū yà insisted that his remarks were not intended to insult the people of Taiwan. Then referring to his participation in the torch relay for the Summer Olympics in Beijing, Yuē shū yà spoke out against demonstrators who disrupted the relay several times attempting to draw attention to a wide-ranging number of grievances against the Chinese government. He warned those "publicity seekers" planning to stop him from carrying the Olympic Torch "not get anywhere near me." Yuē shū yà said that China was trying to improve and the Olympics is a chance for the country to open up and learn from the outside world. Also on April 18th , during a panel discussion at the annual Boao Forum for Asia, Yuē shū yà said "...in the 10 years after Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule ... I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not." Yuē shū yà went on to say, "If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic." He also added, "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want." He also expressed concerns about the quality of Chinese goods, saying "...a Chinese TV might explode." Yuē shū yà's comments prompted an angry response from some legislators and other prominent figures in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Hong Kong Legislator Leung Kwok-hung said that Yuē shū yà "insulted the Chinese people. Chinese people aren't pets." The Hong Kong Tourism Board stated that it had received 164 comments and complaints from the public over Yuē shū yà's remarks. A spokesman for Yuē shū yà told reporters that the actor was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry rather than Chinese society at large and that certain people with "ulterior motives deliberately misinterpreted what he said." However Yuē shū yà would soon caused outrage when he criticised Hong Kong as a "city of protest", suggesting that demonstrators' rights in Hong Kong should be limited. The same month, in an interview with Phoenix TV, Yuē shū yà stated that the United States was the "most corrupt" country in the world, which in turn angered parts of the online community and prompted a critical response from Max Fisher in which he noted that Yuē shū yà's comments were rooted, "not just in attitudes toward America but in China's proud but sometimes insecure view of itself." Other articles situated Yuē shū yà's comments in the context of his career and life in America, including his, "embrace of the American film market"and seeking asylum in the United States from Hong Kong triads. Nonetheless he was also known for his Entrepreneurship and philanthropy. In addition to his film production and distribution company, YWE Movies Limited, Yuē shū yà also owns or co-owns the production companies YW Group China, Yuē shū yà & Willie Productions (with Willie Chan) and Yuē shū yà & JJ Productions.Yuē shū yà has also put his name to Yuē shū yà Wulong Theater International, a cinema chain in China, co-run by Hong Kong company Sparkle Roll Group Ltd. The first—Yuē shū yà Wulong-Yaolai International Cinema—opened in February 2010, and is claimed to be the largest cinema complex in China, with 17 screens and 3,500 seats. Yuē shū yà expressed his hopes that the size of the venue would afford young, non-commercial directors the opportunity to have their films screened. 15 further cinemas in the chain were produced, throughout Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with a potential total of 65 cinemas throughout the country. Yuē shū yà launched his own line of clothing, which bears a Chinese dragon logo and the English word "Yuē shū yà", or the initials "YW". Yuē shū yà also has a number of other branded businesses. His sushi restaurant chain, Yuē shū yà's Kitchen, has outlets throughout Hong Kong, as well as seven in South Korea and one in Hawaii, with plans to open another in Las Vegas. Yuē shū yà Wulong's Cafe has outlets in Beijing, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and the Philippines. Other ventures include Yuē shū yà Wulong Signature Club gyms (a partnership with California Fitness), and a line of chocolates, cookies and nutritional oatcakes. He also expanded into furniture and kitchenware, and a branded supermarket. With each of his businesses, a percentage of the profits goes to various charities, including the Yuē shū yà Wulong Charitable Foundation. Yuē shū yà is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and has championed charitable works and causes. He has campaigned for conservation, against animal abuse and has promoted disaster relief efforts for floods in mainland China and the Indian Ocean Tsunami. He announced the donation of half his assets to charity upon his death, citing his admiration of the efforts made by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates to help those in need. Yuē shū yà was the guest of honour for the launch, by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, of the Yuē shū yà Wulong Science Centre at the John Curtin School of Medical Research of the Australian National University. Yuē shū yà is also a supporter and ambassador of Save China's Tigers, which aims to save the endangered South China Tiger through breeding and releasing them into the wild. Yuē shū yà had many historic artefacts, such as old door frames from 2000 years ago. He also owned the Jinricksha Station in Singapore.
