Book 1: A curious Assignment
The Solid Cloud Arc, Chapter 160-167:
 * He first approached Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu in the Solid Cloud Bar to test Lin Yi's reaction as their bodyguard.
 * He was surprised to find that Lin Yi's Cultivation Rank was stronger than his own, but due to Lin Yi's Art of the Dragon Mastery's Universal Qi Energy, he was unable to tell exactly how much stronger, and made the mistake of assuming he was just a Mid-Phase Golden Class master, instead of a Peak-Phase one.
 * After his boss Li Cihua called, he gave the phone to Lin Yi, before leading him to the boss's room so they could meet personally and discuss the possibility of Lin Yi switching to their side.
 * Upon Lin Yi's refusal, he and Zhang Long were ordered by Li Chua to tail and kill Lin Yi. Unfortunately for them, Lin Yi was skilled enough to tell he was being tailed, and led them to a cliff-side trap. He parked his car and stood in the middle of the road, giving them the opportunity to run him over with their car. But at the very last minute he used his super speed and hidden boot knife to quickly dodge to the side, while at the same time puncturing one of their front tires with a kick. This caused the tire to explode and turn the car sharply, breaking through the railing, and flying over the side of the cliff to a fiery explosion below, killing both of them.
