Sun’s bulletproof vest saves him from harm. Tong berates Michael and vows to have him transferred off the team. On the same day, Tong and Sun are called to investigate a car stolen by a crew of criminals who just finished committing a series of robberies. When Tong and Sun pursue them, they get into a serious car accident involving a passing Jeep that cripples Sun. Tong shoots at the fleeing criminals, killing two of them and causing them to crash the hijacked car. The lead criminal falls into a coma. To Tong’s horror, he discovers he also accidentally shot dead Yee, [Wong Sum-Yin], the elder daughter of public prosecutor Gao Min, [Zhang Jingchu], who was placed in the trunk of their car when the criminals hijacked Gao’s vehicle. Unable to handle the guilt, Tong succumbs to a fog of pain. Gao, meanwhile, pours all her love and attention to her younger daughter Ling, [Wong Suet-Yin].

However complications arise as Ling is suddenly kidnapped by a man seriously damaged in one eye known as Hung King, [Nick Cheung Ka-Fai], who does shady jobs for hire and has his own agenda. Gao is threatened by the kidnapper to change evidence for Cheung’s trial to get him acquitted. Tong is once again thrust into a cat-and-mouse game to not only save Gao’s other daughter but also as redemption from his past mistakes.
