He's with the Tong, as are most of the guys his age who don't have better prospects, but he's also known as basically a good person in a bad situation. With him around, the shakedowns are more intimidating than violent, and he is known to quietly help the least fortunate victims. His immediate supervisor turns a blind eye to this, since the recipients are people who are no threat to the gang's power and influence.  When Jun disappeared, it was Tingfeng who brought the sad news to Xiaofu...and he still checks up on her when he can, trying to step in and be the brother she is missing. (She doesn't need the help, but the attempt is endearing.)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=340438.msg16137607#msg16137607">Quote from: Korosa on 18-03-2022, 20:58:55</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">- What's the coolest/most lucrative/most interesting theft you've ever pulled off?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The most awesome job the Locket has ever pulled was the big one! Unfortunately she can't talk about it, and all the credit (blame?) went to someone completely different. Oh, well. Only amateurs make that much noise, and she's happy to duck the heat on this one. It was an impulse job, self-motivated, and it was off her usual turf. Some stuffed shirt in the<em>Colonia de Sombras</em>neighborhood was doing the Big Boss act and she thought he needed a lesson in humility, so she found the soft spots in his fancy schmancy security system and cracked his safe like an Easter egg. She took the large bundles of cash in the safe<sup>*</sup>, but didn't touch the fancy black stone mirror and dagger thingy--they were cool looking, but how do you fence what looks like some ancient Mexican artifact without attracting a ton of heat?  Then she split...closing the safe up again first, of course. How was she to know that some costumed vigilante type was going to break in the same night and make off with the folk art?<br/><br/><sup>*</sup>Not that she still has most of the cash. That went to paying off certain obligations and other inconveniences of modern life. So she's not swimming in cash. But at the moment, she's also no longer drowning in debt.
