— Wade Heston and Huang Lee about to find out who killed Huang's father, stole Yu Jian, and is the rat inside the Triads

Salt in the Wound is the final storyline mission given to Huang Lee by Wade Heston in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Overview

Huang Lee and Wade Heston drive to the deal where it is said Huang will find who stole his father's sword. Once he arrives, he learns that his uncle, Wu Lee stole the sword and murdered his father. Kenny tries to explain, but Huang has none of it. Then LCPD, IAD and FIB agents show up, and Kenny, Huang and Wade are forced to make a hasty retreat.

Huang chases Kenny through the desalination plant, killing many of his goons on the way, followed by a boat chase, pursuing Kenny and killing more goons. Upon reaching the shore, it becomes a car chase, until Kenny stops in front of Hsin Jaoming's penthouse, triggering a cutscene in a room with a fountain in the middle.

Kenny reveals that the reason for him to kill his own brother, was because Hsin ordered him to take the sword from Huang's father, and in return, Kenny would become the next head of the Triad. Kenny knew that by doing that he would probably still lose the position to Hsin's son, Chan. So, instead of that, he killed his brother, stole the sword and later became an fed rat and made Chan and Zhou be murdered by Huang using false files inthe FIB mainframe, so he could be the only one in line to be the next Triad boss.

Hsin demands the Yu Jian back, and Kenny responds by stabbing him. Huang challenges Kenny, and they fight. Once Wu Lee is dead, the LCPD arrive and threaten to arrest everyone. Heston yells at them that this was his bust, and to arrest everyone except Huang. Hsin goes to jail and Huang is desolated for everything that happened.

Walkthrough

Drive to the meet with Heston. Arriving at the location, Huanh discover Wu Lee's conspiracy and the police show up. Don't waste health, time, and bullets killing the police and goons, just run through them to the other side. Chase Kenny through the industrial park. The player don't have to rush, but beware the goons inside. They are armed up with assault rifles which takes down health and armor. Don't rush too quick, clear your back. Kenny's not leaving until the player does. Soon after, a goon with a rocket launcher will appear. Take cover, and if the player is equipped with a rocket launcher, it is easiest to blast him with it, or the player can use the walls to gain cover and finish him up with a molotov cocktail. At the end, Wu Lee jumps into a boat, so Wade steals a Cruiser with Huang riding shotgun armed with a minigun. Chase him through the waters, killing several of his goons. They will soon reach land where Kenny grabs a car and speeds off. Do the same. Make sure to stick with him - he goes fast. Actually, not to hurry, average to up speed will do the job. But beware the four star wanted level, do drive-bys to the cops around or they might blast the player's car. Also beware the NOOSE Enforcers, they crash into the vehicle, lowering the player's speed so some cop goons may get the player busted. Kenny finally stops at Hsin Jaoming's house where Huang enter his home to a very angry Wu Lee blaming Hsin for this. Hsin denies it, and demands for the Yu Jian. Kenny's response is "You want it? HERE!" and stabs Hsin with the sword. He then addresses his nephew and Huang is determined to see the end of the man who killed his father - even if it is his own uncle. A great battle between the two breaks out. Be sure to keep some distance from Wu Lee, he will use the sword and that is almost certain death if he gets to Huang. When Kenny is dead, the LCPD show up again to arrest everyone, thankfully Wade Heston steps in and says that this was his bust, and to arrest everyone, except Huang.

Mission Replay description

"Kenny was behind everything: all so he could take over the Triads in Liberty City.

Though, it was Hsin's prompting that pushed him into it.

It's over now ... I think I won ... it just feels like I lost - and I still didn't get laid. This city sucks."
