[edit] Season 5
In the previous season, Chinese prisoner Jia Kenmin challenged Ryan O'Reily to a fight, but Ryan's brother Cyril overreacted and attacked Jia putting him in hospital. Jia returned to Em City on his own request, and also asked to apologies to the O'Reilly brothers claiming that he was at fault for what happened. Cyril accepted but Ryan remained sceptical, at around this time, another Chinese criminal, by the name of "Li Chen" arrived having been arrested for four counts of attempted murder.
Li was (presumably) sponsored by Jia Kenmin, and both of them joined the prison's singing lessons taught by Suzanne Fitzgerald - Ryan's real mother. Still being suspicious of Jia, Ryan warned him that no harm must come to Susanne or else he would kill him. Jia reassured Ryan that he had nothing to fear - from him at least. Li Chen however was (according to Jia) a "different matter"...
Sometime later, Jia ordered Li to kill the O'Reily Brothers, adding that he should go for Ryan first, as it would be easier to get Cyril with him gone. At that same moment, prisoner Glen Shupe told Ryan that he had heard Li tell Jia that he wanted to rape Suzanne Fitzgerald. Ryan saw that Jia and Li appeared to be arguing, and asked Jia if what Shupe said was true. Jia confessed that Li was "out of control" and he had no idea how to stop him, so Ryan picked up a weapon and stabbed Li in his back. The attack had very little affect on Li, who managed to hit Ryan so hard he dropped his weapon. It turned out that Jia and Li had been anticipating this event so they could kill him. Li and Ryan fought for a while, in full view of the other prisoners, and Li had a clear advantage until Cyril, in an attempt to protect his brother, stabbed Li Chen in the heart.
