Quick notes

  • Wei’s two roles create the central conflict. Wei must satisfy his police assignment while maintaining trust inside the Sun On Yee.
  • Jackie connects Wei to old acquaintances. Jackie’s friendship helps Wei enter the Water Street circle.
  • Police contacts have different responsibilities. Raymond is Wei’s handler, Pendrew oversees the operation and Teng provides cases.
  • Keep expansion stories separate. Nightmare in North Point and Year of the Snake have their own scenarios.
