After he, Tang, and multiple workers at the restaurant are ambushed my martial arts masters hired by the mafia, Wang convinces Tang Lung to go on ahead before [[InTheBack stabbing the surviving staff members in the back.]] When Tang Lung is about to return, Wang [[WoundedGazelleGambit wounds himself]] to convince Tang that he and the staff were attacked after Tang left.
