===Early Life===
====Becoming a Marine====

===Conflict with Alias===
====Failed Acquisition Offering====
Cheng was worried of Alias Investigations' competition. In response, he met with Jessica Jones and offered a buyout, but she was extremely rude to him; so he walked out and vowed to take her business down. He later met with a client who lost his dog, but saw Jones scouting him out from on top of a sign. He casually sat down on the ledge and mocked her, earning a middle finger for his efforts.Jessica Jones: 2.01: AKA Start at the Beginning
====Attack on Pryce Cheng====
Cheng then sent a package to Jones containing all of his information to show that he had no dirt that she could did up. He then proceeded to get one of her clients, Mrs. Belenka. Later, Jones walked in with his client's dog saying his ex-wife was hiding him. The client disappointingly told Cheng that he said the dog wasn't there. The client then left, likely to fire Cheng. As Jones left, Cheng got in between her and the door. He scolded Jones for using her powers to better him. Cheng brought up Kilgrave to which he got a punch from Jones. He tried to taser Jones, but she threw him through the door. He began to tease her more about her past, but she punched him again before realizing what she had done. As she left, he told her she was the weakest human being he had ever met. Jones was then arrested. Cheng had a dislocated shoulder.
====Hiring Jero Hogarth====
The next day, Cheng went to hire Jeri Hogarth so he could sue Jones, whom he thought got off easy with only a bail. He sat down and told Hogarth what happened. He later called Hogarth to no answer. He walked to Hogarth's apartment and found her with many women. He advised her about being professional before leaving.Jessica Jones: 2.02: AKA Freak Accident
====Hiring Nick Spanos====
Cheng soon heard that Jeri Hogarth dropped the lawsuit. Angry, he walked into Hogarth's office to talk. Knowing it was leading nowhere, he left and hired his good friend, Nick Spanos. He then went to talk to Jessica Jones only to find Malcolm Ducasse. He rudely talked to Ducasse, finding out he was an addict. Later, he and Spanos devised a plan to rob Jones' belongings. Cheng listened on comms as Spanos successfully robbed her. When Spanos was getting into the van, he was attacked. Cheng listened as Spanos was murdered. Cheng later found out that Jones was arrested for it.Jessica Jones: 2.04: AKA God Help the Hobo Seeking vengeance, he was upset to find that she had been released from jail after zero evidence was found. He angrily approached her in the street, but was told to back off.Jessica Jones: 2.05: AKA The Octopus
====Hunting Alisa Jones====
Hearing that Alisa Jones was the one that killed Nick Spanos, not Jessica Jones, Cheng set up across the street from Jessica Jones' Apartment Building and set up his sniper. When he saw Alisa move in view of the window, he shot, but missed. He then shot again, only to hit Jessica who jumped in front.Jessica Jones: 2.08: AKA Ain't We Got Fun He saw Alisa starting to leave in pursuit of him. Cursing, he packed up and tried to leave. He ran up the stairs but was closely followed by Alisa. However, right before she got to him, Jessica came from behind and sedated Cheng.
A tied Cheng woke up many hours later to see Alisa and Jessica in front of him, causing immediate panic. Jessica took off the tape over his mask as well as his leg tape. She then dragged him into the other room to talk to him alone. He asked why he was wet, and Jessica told him he pissed himself. She then peacefully talked to him saying to forget the kidnapping and she will forget trying to kill her. Cheng assured her he was going after Alisa, but Jessica said it did not matter. Cheng agreed to the terms, but said that Alisa was a different story, she should not be in the streets. Jessica agreed and went to call the cops. Suddenly, Alisa barged in trying to attack Cheng. Jessica fought Alisa as she yelled for Cheng to escape.Jessica Jones: 2.09: AKA Shark in the Bathtub, Monster in the Bed
