Background
Liu Xinglong was a prominent figure in Jiangnan City who reportedly got his start in the underworld and had several lives on his hands. In recent years, he shifted toward legitimate business and gradually withdrew from underworld circles, though his fearsome reputation endured 11.
More than a decade before meeting Ye Tian, Liu witnessed a martial artist kill an entire gang of around a hundred people while the authorities stood by. The experience left him in awe and fear of martial artists 12.
Appearance
Liu Xinglong is a dignified-looking middle-aged man with slicked-back hair 11.
Personality
Liu is forceful and intimidating toward ordinary people, but quick to defer to those he recognizes as more powerful. After Ye Tian defeated his enforcer, Liu apologized fearfully; once Ye Tian had left, he threatened the witnesses into silence 11 12.
He is also an astute judge of people. Seeing that Ye Tian repaid help despite showing no mercy to his enemies, Liu sought to befriend him and secure a potentially valuable favor 20.
Story Role
Confrontation at the hotel
After Ye Tian killed Liu Hao and Wang Ting at the Xinglong Grand Hotel, Liu stopped him from leaving and demanded an explanation. When Ye Tian insulted him, Liu ordered his enforcer A Hu to cripple him 11.
Ye Tian caught A Hu’s punch, broke his wrist and threw him down. Concluding that Ye Tian was a martial artist, Liu apologized and let him leave. He then rejected the victims’ families’ demands for help, threatened the witnesses into silence and made a call ordering an unspecified job 12.
Assisting Ye Tian
Liu had his people investigate the “Brother Biao” mentioned in the plot against Ye Tian. Of the 93 underworld figures using that name across Jiangnan City, he identified Wang Biao of Yunhai County and Zhao Biao of the Development Zone as the likeliest suspects. Ye Tian considered the information valuable and said he owed Liu a favor 20.
When Liu learned that Ye Tian had neither a phone nor a home, he arranged a phone and clothes and gave him a villa at Cloudmist Mountain Manor. He also agreed to contact Zhang Jian about bringing Ye Tian’s car 21.
Ye Tian later asked Liu to find the car after learning it had disappeared two years earlier. Liu reported that it had been located; Ye Tian said he would handle the matter himself 22 48.
Relationships
- Ye Tian — Initially confronted him over the hotel killings, then sought his favor after witnessing his strength. Liu became a useful source of information and assistance 11 12 20 21.
- A Hu — Liu’s top enforcer and a former underground fighter. He once rescued Liu from an ambush but was defeated by Ye Tian in a single move 11 12.
- Wang Biao — One of two men Liu identified as likely candidates for “Brother Biao.” Bai Long later named Wang Biao as the man who ordered him to torment Ye Tian’s family 20 38.
