Background

Ye Yuan lent Xu Hang's family 200,000 yuan for his father's hospitalization and allowed the unused portion to go toward the family's other debts. Xu Hang consequently owed Ye Yuan 100,000 yuan and remained deeply grateful for the support. 54

Xu Hang was injured during a classified overseas mission. Although his external wounds healed, the injury left him unable to remain in the combat forces. Rejecting the logistics post arranged for him, he transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division in Blue Island City and coped poorly with the setback, often drinking heavily. 215 218

The mission injury was caused by a clawed opponent later identified as a “Bio-human.” Unknown, self-dividing black-light cells entered Xu Hang's body and were initially mistaken for cancer cells. Ye Yuan ultimately removed all of them, curing Xu Hang's illness. 224 225 246 901

Appearance

Xu Hang is consistently described as tall and straight-backed, with a military bearing that makes him stand out in a crowd.

• A prominent, claw-inflicted scar runs across his wrist. 224
• He can move with sudden, difficult-to-follow speed. 1015
• Even while off duty, he retains the posture and discipline of a soldier. 546

Personality

Xu Hang is ordinarily quiet, composed, and restrained, but pressure surrounding his career, family expectations, and missions can drive him into drinking or single-minded overexertion. He persisted in the search for the Dragon Fish despite repeated failure and exhaustion, largely because he could not accept giving up. 714 718

He has a strong sense of justice and reacts fiercely to cruelty, hypocrisy, or abuse of authority. His rage toward Liu Mingyuan stemmed from Liu's responsibility for the death of Xu Hang's cousin, while his removal of Jiang during Blue Island's tsunami crisis came after Jiang secretly evacuated his own family while resisting public disclosure. 302 1108

Despite his family background and strategic instincts, Xu Hang values sincerity over transactional alliances. He is protective of Ye Yuan, often shields his secrets, and is willing to risk friction with Lan Xin and the Lan family when he believes they have acted against Ye Yuan. 885 1202 1775
