You are going to need plenty of ammo and guns for this chapter. After answering to the phone call, regroup with Joe and after a series of usual events, you need to follow a car of a person named Wong. You can’t get too close to his car.
An icon on your screen will help you keep appropriate distance. Once you have found the location of Wong, next step is the assault to the Chinese. This shootout is not going to be easy in the start. The main reason is that you will have to shoot people above you. They will be in cover so shooting them will be difficult.
So negligence can jeopardize the mission. After dealing with them, take the elevator. Now your stealth will be tested again here as you don’t need any firefight with the enemies. You can execute them silently if you want to. Ultimately take the elevator which lead to Wong’s location.
After the cut-scene, you will leave the restaurant and have to face the cops outside. You will have to use a grenade to whip out one of their cars. Then hurriedly reach the nearest cloth shop and change your appearance. This will hide your wanted status and you can return to your apartment again.
