To open this side quest you will need to speak to the bartender Bobby Boa on the ground floor in The Hive after speaking to the manager. He will mention that he struck a deal with a female broker named Jaya and she hasn’t paid her tab, but she has gone into hiding but is still using her phone and laptop for business, meaning you can track her. Bobby wants you to hack into bellower’s surveillance network to track her down. There are 3 terminals you will need to hack and they require Hacking: Capture 2.

These terminals will be located on the roof tops, the first one will be on a roof in the Youzhao District near Diamond Chan’s apartment. Once you have hacked into this one your marker will move to the next one. Look for scaffolding around buildings as they will give you access to the rooftops.

Disable the 3 terminals, and then make your way to the Hengsha Court Gardens building. She will be in the penthouse,
Take the elavator and when exiting the elavator, go right.

Speak to Jaya and she will explain that she was cheated and she will not pay a single credit for her augmentation. You have two options here, you can pay a sum of 5000 credits to the Bobby Bao and he promises to not hassle her again, and you will unlock the ‘Guardian Angel’ achievement. The other option is to perform a non-lethal takedown on her and get the augmentation back out of her. Both options will unlock this achievement, but obviously the superior choice is paying for her so you can get another achievement as well.

29.Rotten Business (10 Gamerpoints / Bronze Trophy) – Help a lady in the oldest of professions clean house.

Close to where you land in the beginning of the chapter, on the roof there will be an access door for the Hung Hua Hotel.

Mei’s friend Ning has been taken against her will. And Mei Suen wants you to help find Ning. She feels that one of the hotel’s bouncers, a man named Chuanli may be able to provide you with more information.

You can find Chuanli on the roof of the hotel, so go back up the stairs you came down from, and speak to him. I recommend the social enhancer augmentation as this helps alot more to convince him.Ning is being held in a storage unit near the open drain on the other side of the district near the Alice Garden Pods. To get there, cross the bridge near Chuanli and then follow the series of starcases all the way down until you come out near the open drain.

Elimate these guards and hack the terminal (Level 2) or search the guards, one of them has a pocket sectretary with the access code on it. Now that Ning is safe return to Mei at the hotel. She will thank you and offer another job for you to do. In this next job Mei will ask you to take care of Diamond Chan.

Her main wish is for you to kill him and make it look like an accident, but there is also another way you can deal with this. Ask Mei for another option and she will tell you that you need to knock him out and while he is unconscious, just plant some drugs in his apartment.

what i did was knock him out inside his apartment, saved my game from there and then dragged his body outside and threw it over the edge of the roof. (Achievement will unlock) There will be a marker showing you where to throw him off. I then reloaded and just planted the drugs and went back to the hotel to complete this quest.
