Background / History

Wang Meng once worked at an auto repair shop. After his employer died, Sister Zhen helped him establish himself; he continued to treat her as an elder and visited her during holidays. He later became the leader of A City's Dragon Gang, commanding ten halls and more than three thousand lackeys. 66 136

Ding Shi had served as Wang Meng's trusted subordinate and “blade,” but Wang Meng discovered that Ding Shi was an undercover agent assigned to dismantle A City's criminal groups and eventually eliminate Wang Meng. Furious at the perceived betrayal, fearful of Ding Shi's position as Beacon Hall master, and influenced by Stupid Dagger, Wang Meng shot Ding Shi in the back without first hearing him out. 1 66

Sister Zhen's disappearance destabilized Wang Meng. While Wang Meng was consumed by the loss, Ding Shi killed two of Wang Meng's most loyal associates and seized control of One Shrimp Company, shifting the balance of power within the Dragon Gang. 136

Appearance

Wang Meng is a heavily built man weighing over one hundred kilograms, with calf-sized limbs, cushion-sized hands, and a physique repeatedly compared to a mountain. He usually maintains a cool, expressionless exterior. 67 69 95

• A professional boxer's build and striking power. 69
• Large enough to cross a moat by jumping it outright. 70
• Often wears armor when serving in military or security roles. 157 158
• Acquires a Sharingan at auction, which enhances his imposing appearance as a commander. 97 147

Personality

Wang Meng values loyalty and brotherhood, even when his own judgment has failed. He regrets acting rashly against Ding Shi, recognizes that he was manipulated by Stupid Dagger, and repeatedly attempts to maintain workable cooperation with his former friend despite their mutual mistrust. 66 92 148

Compared with Ding Shi, Wang Meng is more straightforward and more willing to honor promises, though he sometimes makes commitments beyond his ability to fulfill. He can be ruthless, but he is also protective of companions, checking Ding Shi's injuries after combat and refusing to let him scout alone after noticing his exhaustion. 73 76 97

As a leader, Wang Meng is pragmatic and strategically minded. He prepares military logistics, inspects defenses personally, screens recruits for combat suitability, and is willing to consider extreme measures against enemies when conventional options fail. 140 145 147
