## Story

Dahao arrives in Japan and curtly shakes Satomi's hand, assuming he knows why he is here. Stating that his father and grandfather are furious, he hears that the yakuza will deal with any problems within their own ranks. Asserting he is sure Zhou has his reasons, Dahao says if he speaks to him he is sure he will come round.

In a hotel room he calls Zhou and rebuffs his question of what he wants. Dahao asks if he has any idea what he has done, now informing Zhou that his father and grandfather are furious. Suggesting they set up a meeting so they can talk directly, Dahao finds that Zhou has ended the call.

One of Inui's memories shows Dahao enquiring if Satomi could set up a meeting with Zhou somehow, he just needs to talk to him directly. He rejects the idea of the counselor's kid being kidnapped by Inui.

Back in his hotel room, he receives a message from Zhou, pleased to be sent a link to a meeting place. Seated on a golf course with Satomi and Inui, he voices that Zhou said to wait here. Dahao reasons they could not meet openly, so he guesses this is the best Zhou could do.

Spotting Zhou, he approaches, happy they can finally speak face to face. He is perplexed hearing Zhou tell them they cannot be here, since Zhou is the one who told Dahao to come. His confusion is magnified as he witnesses Zhou accuse Inui of taking the ball.

Dahao can only watch stunned as Inui seizes Zhou, lifts him off his feet and slam him to the ground. Realizing what is about to transpire, Dahao yells for Inui to stop to no avail. Prevented from taking any further action by a minder, he is daunted at seeing Inui murder Zhou with a golf club and covers his ears as one of his men shoots Inui dead, before announcing that they have to get out of here.

Getting dressed, he angrily asks why he was not woken, he said they had an important meeting with his father. Ignoring the woman he is with, heading down the elevator he asks his bodyguard the same thing. Venting further, once in his car he orders the driver to get moving, his grandfather will be here today too.

On the way he voices his best friend's death has given him a chance to redeem himself. Ordering to know why they have stopped, he is startled to see Ron taser his guard. Shouting for his driver to step on it, he then sees his order ignored as he is locked in the car. Confronted with Ron and Meiling, Dahao witnesses a large black butterfly before him.

Mesmerized by it, Dahao has an out of body experience where he is facing his father on a boat near some islands. He is being berated for allowing some Beijing nouveau rich to steal their distribution channels in Japan. Protesting, Dahao states whichever way one looks at it, something is not right here. Discussing counselor Zhou, Dahao is certain there is no way he would sell out to a bunch of people he barely knows.

In this environment, he is literally sinking into quicksand within the room, asking his father to wait since Zhou has just had his first child. Up to near his neck in quicksand, Dahao asks his father, in actuality Ron using the guise of his father to speak, what he means when he is told to worry about himself. Dahao hears that his grandfather has said they should take him out for being a traitor as well.

With the Chen family status and fortune at stake, Dahao hears they must act now. Not bothered at all by the large woodlouse like insects crawling over him, Dahao only appears unsettled when he is told by his father that he must kill his grandfather. In the limousine he is told when Ron clicks his fingers, that will be the signal as he is handed a gun.

Coming back to his senses, he shouts for the car to get moving. Physically onboard his grandfather's yacht, with his father there in person as well, he hears from his guard that the guest's have just been seen pulling into the boatyard and he asks how many people were seen.

Seated beside his grandfather as the meeting with the CEO, Ron and Meiling occurs, with the latter three naked, Dahao instantly shoots his grandfather dead when Ron clicks his fingers. Giddy, he happily states to his father that he did it before appearing unsure what he means since he only done what his father said he should.

Seemingly not registering his father's order to shoot them Dahao hands Ron the gun before being made to sleep.

## Relationships

### Shengjie Chen

Often mentioning his father's fury to others, Dahao makes an effort to meet him on time in a business like relationship, but he was also rebuked by him for allowing Zhou to interfere with Chen family interests in Japan. In person he understands his father's stance that it is his responsibility to deal with the CEO.

### Dahao's Grandfather

He does not believe his grandfather would say such a thing when Ron, disguised as his father informs him his grandfather said he should be taken out as a traitor. In person he says sorry for keeping him waiting. As a result of Ron's influence through his father, Dahao shoots his grandfather in the head on his yacht.

### Ron

Reacting with fear when Ron tasers his bodyguard and joins him in his car, Dahao is unknowingly influenced by Ron using Meiling to murder his own grandfather.

### Satomi

He visits this yakuza member in Japan concerning Zhou's situation. Previously he requested he arrange a face to face meeting, and at some point informed Satomi that the counselor's wife had just had a kid. He demands Satomi stop when he orders Inui to snatch the child. Dahao brings Satomi with him to a golf course to await a meeting with Zhou.

### Zhou

With Zhou considered a traitor by the yakuza, Dahao wants to speak with him first and instructs Satomi to not lay a finger on him. Calling Zhou, he speculates that someone is with him hence why he is not speaking candidly. He was happy to at last speak with him in person but could not do anything to prevent Zhou's murder right in front of him. Later, he tells his grandfather that counselor Zhou is one of his closest friends.

### Inui

Aware of Satomi's accomplice from the past and meeting him again, Dahao largely pays the enforcer no mind. That is until he sees him about to murder Zhou and calls for him to stop.

### Katsuragi

Unknown to him he is watched by Katsuragi, and sarcastically referred to as the young hotshot of the Chen Group and looking like a moron.

### Dahao's Driver

Trusting him enough to drive when ordered, Dahao saw this was not the case after Ron and Meiling were involved.

### Dahao's Guard

His armed guard who Dahao berated with empty threats.
