Biography
Narrative role
Ol' Wong meets Chen Ge while working security at Fang Hwa Apartments. Nearly sixty and familiar with the residents' fears, he describes the mysterious white shadow and watches over the younger guard Gu Feiyu with paternal concern. His account helps Chen understand that the apartment's disturbances are not merely rumor, even though Ol' Wong himself remains an ordinary living man. (Chapters 201–205)
During a later night shift, a Ghost Stories Society operative steals Ol' Wong's phone and impersonates him in messages designed to lure Gu Feiyu toward room 3239. Ol' Wong follows the trap and is found unconscious beneath a noose alongside Gu Feiyu. Both are taken to the hospital alive; the threatening messages sent from his phone are the attacker's actions, not evidence that Ol' Wong betrayed his colleague. (Chapters 271–279)
