Hsin’s orders
Hsin calls you to his penthouse. While looking for the Feds’ rat he has found that several old allies have turned on the Triads and must be punished. He wants two of them beheaded and warns Huang that he will cut off his own head too if he is displeased. Your first stop is the sword hidden in a dumpster nearby.
The first stronghold
Head for the first marked stronghold, a scrapyard in Beechwood City. The leader is inside surrounded by armed guards. Clear a path with your gun, then close in and finish the leader with the sword. Any other kill is not enough. He runs when alerted, so stay close.
Take the ID
Kill the remaining bodyguards first, because you cannot search the body until the area is clear. Then step over the leader and take his ID. The game confirms the pickup and points you to the second stronghold, so drive across town for the next target.
The second leader
The second target is at a golf course, and he runs the moment he spots you. Chase him down on foot and kill him with the sword, then loot the ID after clearing his men. An email from Kenny and one from Hsin tell you to go to the amusement park, so ride over to meet Hsin.
Hsin turns on Huang
Hsin thinks Huang is the rat, since the trouble began with his arrival, and he is ready to execute him. Kenny arrives in time and promises Huang will find both the sword stolen from Hsin and the real informant. Hsin lets you walk away with a warning.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- A target escapes
- A target is not killed with the sword
After the mission
You receive $500. Hsin gives you until his patience runs out to find the rat. A Shadow of Doubt and Double Trouble both open.
