Background

Before working for Fan Yu, Liu Jian was a prominent underworld figure known as Blood Eagle. He and Cang Lang were two of Magic City’s Eight Vajras, operating under Du Rufeng’s influence. Liu Jian later used his connections to secure Financial Street’s property-management rights and transitioned into legitimate business. 44 103 106 117

When Fan Yu became owner of Financial Street, Liu Jian delivered the deed and transfer papers as the property-management company’s general manager. He immediately treated Fan Yu as his superior and became one of his most dependable subordinates. 1 2

Liu Jian’s loyalty and capability eventually earned him control of Dingsheng’s property interests. Du Rufeng stepped aside at Fan Yu’s direction, instructed Cang Lang to follow Liu Jian, and praised Liu Jian’s ability to rise through legitimate means while the other former Eight Vajras had died or been imprisoned. 365

Appearance

Liu Jian normally presents himself as a polished, refined businessman, but his appearance conceals his underworld background.

• Often wears gold-rimmed glasses, contributing to his scholarly, restrained image. 105
• Has a blood-red eagle tattoo across his back, reflecting his “Blood Eagle” alias. 400
• His demeanor changes sharply when he removes his glasses, revealing a far more intimidating presence. 399

Personality

Liu Jian is professional, alert, and exceptionally responsive to Fan Yu’s needs. He answers his boss’s calls immediately, handles assignments with little delay, and treats Fan Yu’s interests as his own. 7 10 98 153

He is also highly adaptable. Rather than clinging to his former underworld standing, Liu Jian built relationships across Magic City, tied his future to Fan Yu, and accepted the shift from gang influence toward formal business power. 115 365

Beneath his refined exterior, Liu Jian remains ruthless and prone to violence. He uses intimidation, coercion, and force to resolve threats against Fan Yu or Dingsheng. His emotional loss of control after discovering Zhou Fang’s betrayal drew direct punishment from Fan Yu, who criticized him for acting like a small-time hoodlum instead of thinking through the consequences. 368 369 385 386
