A Tong thug pursuing a cable car carrying Indiana Jones.
In 1939, Hip Chen Tong thugs, led by Blind Duck, searched all around Chinatown looking for the Jade Sphere which they believed was kept in the Star of the Orient which was hidden under Tan's Exotic Imports. They kidnapped Archie Tan and his granddaughter Suzie as the thugs believed they knew were the sphere might be. They also terrorised some of the citizens of Chinatown like Loo Sing for information. They were supplied by the Germans, who gave them weapons like Lugers and MP-40s. Some of them had skills in martial arts and they all wore white armbands to distinguish them from civilians. They also had a few Brutes with them, large imposing men who could block most attacks. One of their main hangouts was the Lao Che Lounge and while it shares a name with the infamous Chinese crime lord Lao Che, it is unclear whether the Hip Chen Tong and their lounge is connected to Lao Che in any way. They were defeated by Indiana Jones who fought many of them as he searched for Archie and the sphere. They were last seen chasing Indy and Archie who were on a Cable Car. The Tongs followed them in cars and motorcycles however they were unable to stop them escaping.[1]
Wii/PS2 versions: Blind Duck and members of the Hip Chen Tong kidnapped Archie Tan before Indiana Jones arrived in Chinatown. As Jones was about to meet up with Suzie Tan, Blind Duck and his men grabbed her off the street. Jones fought his way through Tong gangsters in back alleys, the Lao Che Lounge and the fireworks factory. Blind Duck and some of his men engaged Jones in a rooftop shootout, but Jones defeated the gangsters and caused Blind Duck to be electrocuted. Meanwhile, other men from the tong had ransacked Archie Tan's office and began searching his secret store room for the Jade Sphere. After rescuing Suzie Tan and stopping by the office, Jones found the secret store room and beat up the tong men there. As Jones found his way down to the Star of the Orient, tong members also discovered the old shipwreck, and began searching on the top deck. One gunmen managed to pull a pistol on Jones when he emerged from below deck, thinking that Jones had found the sphere, but was quickly disarmed and punched out by Jones. Other tong men fired a cannon at Jones, then swarmed in to try to finish him off. Jones managed to defeat a group of thugs in a fight, then dispatched the last few in a gun fight.[2]
PSP version: Tong members attacked Indiana Jones when he came into the Lao Che Lounge looking for evidence pointing to the location of Archie Tan. After beating the gangsters, Jones discovered that they had also kidnapped Suzy Tan. Tong men also faced off against Jones as he followed the trail to the fireworks factory where he saved both Suzy and Archie Tan. After Blind Duck was killed, the Tong chased after Jones outside the fireworks factory. Tong members used motorcycles to pursue Jones and Archie Tan who were fleeing on a cable car, but were unable to stop the pair.[3]

DS version: After the kidnapping of Archie Tan, Tong members attempted to mug Loo Sing but were thwarted by the arrival of Indiana Jones. The Tong members then tried to capture Suzy Tan at Tan's Exotic Imports, but Jones defeated them before they could get to Suzy, who had been hiding in the back office. Later Jones traveled to Lao Che Cocktails, the Tong's base of operation in order to find a secret passage leading to the Star of the Orient.[4]
