We have not found a credit for Wei Cheng’s actor from Rockstar or a major outlet, so it is left out here.
Spoiler
In the ending where Franklin sides with both Michael and Trevor, Franklin is given the job of taking out the Triad boss. IGN’s guide lists killing Cheng with a sticky bomb as one of the gold medal goals. Kotaku notes that a later GTA Online mission has Tao mention, in Chinese, that he almost died at the Los Santos Country Club, a callback to Franklin’s attack on Tao and his father in that ending.
