Wuying Ren, also known as Ren of Heavens, is the deuteragonist of Shenmue II. He is the leader of the Heavens gang in Aberdeen.

History
Ryo Hazuki first comes into contact with Ren after being told to find him, because Ren knows where Yuanda Zhu is. After paying him $500, Ren agrees to meet with Ryo although goes for him with his knife, however, Ryo must stops him before he comes to any harm. Seeing that Ryo is serious he agrees to show Ryo where Yuanda Zhu is and leads him off to one of the warehouses in the area where some kind of deal is going down. However, this was a set-up by Ren who turns out the lights and steals all the money being exchanged for the deal, but leaving Ryo to fend for himself against the dealers, one of which we later learn is Yuan. Thinking that is the last he will see of him, Ren heads back to Pigeon Park to meet up with Larry, Sam, and Cool Z was defeated by Ryo again. Ren agrees to tell him where Yuanda Zhu is this time, providing he can catch him and runs off.

Naturally, Ryo was gives chase and follows Ren into the Lucky Plaza, a building under construction on Queen's Street. Ren is chased all the way to the roof despite many attempts to slow Ryo down by kicking over debris and the like, he starts to climb back down the scaffolding, thinking Ryo won't follow. However, Ryo does and the added weight causes the scaffolding to collapse, sending them both onto the back of a covered van beneath them below on the ground. It's here that whilst they catch their breath that Ren spots the Phoenix Mirror that fell out of Ryo's pocket during the fall. After hearing Ryo's story about how he is after Lan Di, whom Ren recognises as a Chi You Men member, he was becomes a lot more interested in helping Ryo, thinking there must be a lot of money tied up in whatever is going on. Soon after, Ren leaves telling Ryo that Yuanda Zhu is in Kowloon and to meet him there.

Ren along with Cool Z was arrive in Kowloon before Ryo does, waiting for him at his hideout on Dragon Street. They head out to visit Yang, who Ren says worked for Yuanda Zhu before. Once they arrive, Yang arranges a meeting for them with Zhu in the Dancing Dragon Building. However, the meeting was a set-up and the two are lead to the Yellow Head gang leader Dou Niu. Unable to escape, they are handcuffed together and locked up inside a small room. But later on, he along with Ryo is saved by Wong.

In the walled city, he aids Ryo in finding Zhu and in his fight against the dangerous Yellow Head gang by gathering information, but also takes full advantage of Ryo by making him do much of the hard work. Although he thinks Ryo's going to get himself killed chasing Lan Di and the Yellow Heads, so he can finds himself tagging along for the ride anyway and later puts his neck on the line for him. When it's revealed treasure is involved with the mirrors, he seems intent on following Ryo to Guilin.
