Big Smile Lee

"I am the strongest. I am the most feared. I say I should be chairman."

- Big Smile Lee "Making anyone other than me the chairman will be disastrous for Sun On Yee!"

- Big Smile Lee Henry "Big Smile" Lee is a Red Pole Triad and antagonist of the video game Sleeping Dogs. The richest Sun On Yee member, he primarily uses his intimidation and wealth to complete goals. He gained this wealth from a drug operation he ran early in his career and eventually rose up the ladder of the Sun On Yee. He used various laundering tricks and even invested in Sunny Wo's Three Circles Entertainment, a media outlet. Lee's operation grew and grew, even making Liu Shen Tong a lead enforcer, who would eventually kill undercover HKPD officer Charles Ho.

In the events of Sleeping Dogs, he wanted to expand his territory, so he attempts to take over Winston Chu's money laundering operation in North Point, Hong Kong with the help of Dogeyes Lin. But this sparks a civil war between the Jade Gang and Water Street Gang. But with this though, Winston's ally Wei Shen, destroys Dogeyes' drug manufacturing warehouse and kidnaps Siu Wah, an associate of Lin.

However, Lee is not happy with this so in retaliation, he attacks Chu's wedding and successfully wipes out his rival. Uncle Po, the Sun On Yee's dragonhead, is also shot and injured in the firefight. With Uncle Po's life hanging on a thread and the Water Street Gang in poor shape, Lee sends his enforcer Ponytail to collect money. This ignites another firefight resulting in Ponytail's death.

With Lee's power growing and growing, Lee's main rival Broken Nose Jiang seeks to prevent him from becoming chairman by having Shen assist her. To irritate Lee, Jiang recommends Two Chin Tsao to become temporary chairman of Sun On Yee. With Tsao retreating to safety in his home after some "ghosts" haunt him, Lee can't eliminate his target. Shortly later Uncle Po dies in the hospital from causes that are unknown at the time..

At Uncle Po's funeral though, a large shootout is taken place as Thomas Pendew, a police superintendent, arrests Sonny Wo and allows an 18k Triad squad to attack them. With everything around the organization crumbling around them, Lee demands to become chairman, citing that he is the most powerful and feared. However, Pockmark Chuek and Shen oppose this and suggest an election is taken place, upsetting Lee.

An infuriated Lee sends a bunch of Triads to fight the Water Street Gang and to assassinate Shen and get rid of any opposition to get him more votes to become chairman. The hit is a failure though but Jackie Ma, a close friend of Wei is kidnapped. However, Jackie survives after being buried alive on an island.

Desprite to get rid of Shen, Lee tips off Pendrew and he reveals that Shen is an undercover cop. Lee sends Tong to torture and kill Jackie and Wei. Jackie is disenboweled and hung from a pipe in an alleyway where Wei is taken and tortured by Tong. Sadly for Lee though, Shen survives again and goes to kill him on the eve of the election.

After plowing through Lee's enforcers, Shen confronts Lee but is blasted in the chest by a shotgun. Lee goes on a boat to retreat from Wei, but he ends up crashing. After a brutal fistfight between the two men, Shen kills Lee after throwing him into an ice crusher, shredding him into bits. His death ends the civil war between the Triads and allows Jiang to become chairwoman of the Sun On Yee.
