The game starts in a Hong Kong Shipping Port, where undercover police officer Wei Shen is busted after a drug deal gone bad. Thrown into jail, Wei sees his old friend, Jackie Ma, who proposals Wei to join his gang after they are released. Wei meets with Supervisor Thomas Pendrew in the interrogation room and his handler Raymond Mak. Wei asserts that he now has links with the Sun On Yee. After meeting with Jackie, Wei is introduced to Winston Chu, a Sun On Yee red pole and leader of the "Water Street Gang". To prove his faithfulness, Winston sends Wei on various missions to seize back land from Winston's rival, Sam "Dogeyes" Lin, leader of the "Jade Gang". During one mission, Wei is arrested by Inspector Jade Teng, but Pendrew bails him out and affirms his identity to Teng.
Winston decides to take the offensive by attacking one of Dogeyes' warehouses. However, doing so will upset the Chairman and Dragon Head of the Sun On Yee, Uncle Po. Wei proves Winston to spare Dogeyes' drug maker Siu Wah and give Uncle Po a bigger profit than what the Jade Gang offers. Wei successfully does so and fully earns the trust of the Water Street Gang. When Winston is contacted by Uncle Po, who wishes to meet with Wei, he relays the meeting to Raymond, who is concerned that Wei is becoming "one of them". However, Raymond relents as Wei has gotten ever closer to insightful the Sun On Yee. During Winston and his fiancée Peggy Li's wedding day, the Sun On Yee is attacked by rival Triad "18K". Among the fighting, Winston and Peggy are shot dead and Uncle Po is disapprovingly wounded, but Wei manages to get him to the hospital. For saving his life, Uncle Po promotes Wei to the rank of red pole and succeeds Winston as leader of the Water Street Gang. At the request of Winston's mother, Mrs. Chu, Wei captures a member of the 18K and before being tortured to death, confesses that Dogeyes was behind the attack. Wei captures Dogeyes, who is then killed and disjointed by Mrs. Chu.
Furious at
Wei's defiance, Pendrew leaks information about his undercover operations to
Lee, who orders Jackie's kidnapping in order to lure out Wei. Although Wei
frees Jackie, Jackie is once again kidnapped and killed by the 18K. Took and
tortured, Wei manages to leakage and sets out to kill Lee, slaughtering his
men. After a long arduous chase, Wei corners Lee and kills him. Raymond
congratulates Wei on a case well done, but informs him that Pendrew has been
promoted to Interpol, thus any complaints against him won't be heard. Jiang,
who has combined her power in the Sun On Yee and ascended to become Chairwoman,
is exposed nursing Wei. Despite his cover being blown, she standbys his life
due to the loyalty he showed to her and as a token of goodwill, sends him a
package with video surveillance detailing Uncle Po's death by the hands of
Pendrew. With this implicating evidence, Wei throws Pendrew into jail, knowing
he will not continue long in a place filled with Triad members he has put away
throughout his former career. Feeling that Shen was always loyal to her, Jiang
orders her juniors to leave him in peace.
