Lee Hong Assassination
Objectives: Assassinate Triad Leader. Obtain Jade Figurine. Escape from the area.
You should recognize this mission layout from the Wang Fou incident a couple missions back. Proceed toward the restaurant side entrance. It’s in the northeastern corner of the map. Go through the wooden double doors then approach the three entrances ahead. Go into the far left door; it’s closest to the staircase. You may want to check your maps and ensure the guard isn’t lurking around. There are also some crates to hide behind once you’re through the door.
Don’t go up the staircase on the left side. Instead, find a door on the right side of the room. Descend the stairs there into the basement area. Go to the bottom room. You’ll spot some sheets hanging to the left and another door on the right. Go through the door. Spot the clothes on the ground. Change clothes. Exit the basement and the restaurant. Return to the street.
Proceed toward the western side of the map and approach the restaurant’s main entrance. Walk calmly into the restaurant. Open the door on the left side and enter the bar area. Pick up the bottle of laxative on the far left side of the bar counter. Speak with the bartender. He tells you about a CIA agent locked up in the basement. Pick up the brothel invite left on the counter.
Exit the bar and move to the staircases in the adjacent room. Move past the guards through the double doors and ascend the right staircase to the upper floor. Go through the door ahead then the first door on the left. Continue forward until you move through a storage room. For reference you’re headed toward the southeastern corner of the map. Cross the bridge toward the brothel.
Move into the first alcove on the left to find the contact. Wait for their conversation to conclude then follow the girl into the room. She tells you that she’s been kidnapped and also mentions the CIA agent in the basement (he knows where the jade figurine is). She proposes a trade: a combination for helping her escape. You must get her to the restaurant’s side exit.
Don’t go back through the brothel. Exit out the back door. Follow the catwalk around to the left. When you reach the gap, select jump to balcony. She’ll follow you. Help her up when she almost falls. Continue around the next left corner to the bridge. Slowly sneak across the bridge toward the right side. Go through the double doors.
Hide behind the crates to avoid any guards inside. You can kill the guard if necessary. Use the fiber wire. A second guard patrols the staircase. Rotate the camera so you can see him leave the staircase. When he does, sneak down. Use the crates at the bottom for cover and sneak out the door on the right side. Don’t forget to utilize the map so you can track the guard’s movements. Exit and approach the double doors to free the girl in exchange for the combination for the safe containing the jade figurine. Now you just need to know which safe and where it is.
Move along the road to the right and find the ladder along the right wall. Cross the catwalk to the first door on the right. You will recognize this location from the Wang Fou mission. Pick the door lock and enter. Inside you’ll find a safe--but it’s just one of the mission’s safes. The jade figurine could be in here but it could also be elsewhere. The location is randomized. Save your game if you want to check the safe. If it’s the wrong one an alarm sounds. The CIA agent, once found, will tell you the exact location.
Quietly open the door to the safe’s right. There’s a guard inside the room with his back turned. Use the syringe quietly to disable him. Take his clothes. Open the door on the right and go around the left corner to find the elevator. Call the elevator and proceed to the basement. Exit the lift.
Walk carefully past the guards. Check the map and note the point of interest. Follow the basement passage north. Don’t stick too close to the guards as you move past them. Search the room containing the point of interest to find the CIA agent. Free him from the shackles. He tells you where the jade figurine is located and also provides some hints about getting to Hong. Note the clue about Zun, the bodyguard, always tasting Hong’s food. On lower difficulty levels, the location of the jade figurine is now marked as a point of interest on the map.
Retrace your steps toward the elevator. Check a room on the left just before the elevator to find the weapons depot. The jade figurine could be in there depending on how it was randomized. There are also a lot of weapons here if you want to start shooting. Search the safe for the figurine if it’s located here. Other safe locations include the brothel and the second floor. Use the elevator to reach the second floor. Obtain the jade figurine before continuing with the mission’s final task: assassinating Lee Hong.
Return to the restaurant’s basement. Search the area where you first found new clothes (with the sheets hanging on the walls) to find chef clothes. Change your clothes and return to the elevator. Proceed to the first floor.
Exit and proceed through the doors ahead. At the intersection, move through the double doors on the right into the kitchen. Approach the soup on the back corner of the table. The other chef tells you to take the soup to Mister Hong. Time to use the laxative. Poison the soup with the laxative then pick up the soup.
Exit to the hallway and open the double doors ahead. Cross the room to the dining hall ahead where Hong and his bodyguard sit. Place the soup on the table. The bodyguard takes a sip and runs off to the bathroom. Sneak behind Hong and eliminate him with the fiber wire. Check the corpse for the safe combination (needed if you didn’t rescue the hooker) and the Chinese sword. Drag Hong’s body to the rear side of the dining table. The bodyguard will be back soon; work quickly. Calmly walk out of the restaurant and proceed to the exit point.
