Gloves Come Off

Inside the warehouse of Tsuda Enterprise, everybody is busy preparing for the upcoming sports footwear launch party. Office Assistant BUT KA-SHING and his teammates have managed to send all the new sneakers to the loading area, but the 'Sneaker King', the highlight of the launch party, is found missing after the displays are all delivered to the event venue. Head of the Office Operations Unit NG TAK-MING urges SHING to send the 'Sneaker King' to the product launch venue immediately. SHING rings his girlfriend TSUI SUK-WAI asking her out for dinner. But his mood is beginning to slip as soon as WAI invites him to a property visit. SHING gets robbed on his way to a convenience store. He follows the teenage thief all the way to an alley hoping to recover his stolen mobile phone. SHING gets attacked by the thief and his gang of thugs, but is rescued by KO WAI-TING, the owner of the Champ Boxing Gym, just in time. After his discharge from hospital, SHING goes to visit TING at the Champ Boxing Gym with a fruit basket. Deeply impressed by TING's heroism, SHING decides to attend boxing classes. The lobby of Tsuda Enterprise is jam-packed with staff waiting for the lifts. Not wanting to be late for work, SHING brings his teammates to the restricted zone so that they can take the lifts reserved for the senior management in secret. Unfortunately SHING and his teammates are all caught by Security Guard TONG SAP-YAT. SHING and YAT have become so bitterly hostile towards each other after the incident. Not long after, SHING catches YAT hanging out with a bunch of tattooed blokes. A theft has reportedly taken place in Tsuda Enterprise. Believing that YAT has something to do with the theft, SHING urges the security guards to search all the staff around. Out of the blue, the stolen belt is found inside YAT's rucksack, leaving YAT almost speechless on the spot.

SHING is totally mesmerized by the fight between TING and YAT on the boxing stage. While fighting with TING, YAT has sudden flashbacks of himself killing his rival on the boxing stage in Thailand, which has put him in a dark mood straight away. Knowing that he has wronged YAT in some way, SHING offers a formal apology to him at once. TING is so worried about YAT after his mysterious disappearance. TING's wife PO-LAM cannot bear to see her husband to suffer like this and promises to help trace YAT's whereabouts from his only son TONG GAT. Following his encounter with GAT who has only just moved to the rooftop hut, SHING comes to realize that the little boy is actually YAT's biological son. Tsuda Enterprise's new Chief Operating Officer CHAI PAK-FAI reports for duty at the Group's headquarters. All of a sudden, the recently dismissed YEUNG CHUN-CHEONG comes along and pours a tin of red paint over FAI. FAI, however, is calm enough to handle the situation without a sense of embarrassment. TING reveals to YAT that their boxing master YAM KWOK-LUNG has been waiting for his return. Recalling what he has been through over the years, YAT experiences a huge wave of mixed feelings. While driving home, SHING's motorbike has almost hit a dog on the road. The dog owner YAM HO-KAU comes over and has a terrible quarrel with SHING.

LUNG and YAT have finally resolved their long-running misunderstanding and made up with each other. SHING is convinced to buy a pair of sneakers from KAU. Desperate to earn more commission, KAU keeps pestering SHING to enroll at the Dragon Boxing Gym for boxing classes. SHING has spent so much time on boxing practice that he has neglected WAI for quite a while. FAI has been very strict with her staff and is becoming increasingly unpopular. When she takes a nasty fall in the office, none of her staff offers to give her a hand. YAT goes to help FAI up and is asked to be her temporary driver for a night. Noticing how concerned FAI is about the District Council member WONG PAK-TAK, YAT believes that there must be a secret affair between the pair. SHING reveals CHI-LIK's problems to YAT, hoping that YAT can help the lad identify his rival's shortcomings. 'Central axis' are the only words YAT utters. LIK is totally clueless about the implication of the words while SHING is resolved to find out the secret meaning behind.

Having witnessed how LIK has won the match, SHING gets inspired and is resolved to pursue his boxing dream. Knowing that SHING would like to take part in the new talent tournament, TING challenges the lad to a duel and promises to let him try if he can endure for two solid minutes. TAK asks FAI out for a date at the Peak. FAI is indescribably sad and disappointed when she learns that TAK actually cares about nothing but the possible leak of their intimate photos. YAT gets a call from FAI who has almost passed out in a drunken stupor. YAT goes to the pub to pick up FAI, during which FAI suddenly gives him a big sloppy kiss and bear hug. At his daughter's birthday party, TING reveals to YAT that CHATCHAI's son, SOMCHAI, is going to exact revenge on him. Curious to know how strong and powerful his rival CHI-HO is, SHING means to peek at him at his boxing gym, but is discovered by KAU halfway through. KAU offers to lend a hand to SHING by helping identify CHI's shortcomings.

SOMCHAI has finally found YAT and even challenged him to a duel. But YAT who has long given up boxing turns him down right away. SHING gets injured while practicing and goes to see a bonesetter for follow-up treatment, following which he runs into KAU, who looks absolutely thrilled holding a pile of tickets for a Korean boyband's concert. SHING points out that HO has been too strict and domineering with his girlfriend KAU, but KAU is too proud to admit it and still holds HO in high regard. YAT gives SHING a terrible telling-off when he realizes that the lad has been acting sick in a bid to withdraw from the tournament. WAI calls SHING up all of a sudden, making him believe that she is asking for reconciliation. But to his great surprise, WAI is so determined to break up with him. Desperate to sort out their relationship, FAI is going to have a word with TAK and his wife and will need YAT's company during their meeting. As FAI is about to disclose their affair to TAK's wife, another mistress of TAK turns up and picks a quarrel with the couple. In order to resolve the conflict between him and SOMCHAI, YAT decides to accept the duel.

The Office Operations Unit of Tsuda Enterprise has been dissolved, following which SHING is transferred to the Sales Department and becomes so stressed about the new working environment. GAT gets stuck with his English homework every now and then, so YAT decides to turn to FAI for help. To YAT's great surprise, FAI offers to provide GAT with private tuition in person. YAT escorts FAI down to the street, during which they see a middle-aged man being robbed by a gang of teenagers. YAT manages to catch one of the robbers TING YAN-TSZ, but the girl is agile enough to break away soon afterwards. FAI attends a press conference held by her family-run banking corporation, where she runs into her first boyfriend LEUNG YAN-WAH. Recalling her painful past with WAH, FAI remains as aloof as she can be when staying with him. However hard he tries, SHING is still unable to sell any of his products. Luckily KAU is there to help and offers him a lot of tips and advice. To show his gratitude for KAU, SHING tries to get her a flight ticket to Korea with his greatest effort. TING goes to see YAT, where he overhears SHING complaining to YAT about him, which enrages him no end.

YAT needs SHING to apologize to TING. SHING offers his apology to TING as advised while TING describes himself as a very forgiving person. Noticing that SHING has taken a wrong approach while practicing, KAM-HO is going to correct the lad but is stopped by TING. SHING gets a call from KAU grumbling about the flight delay. He then hurries to the airport to see KAU and the pair are impulsive enough to have sex in the airport hotel shortly after their encounter. TSZ has dropped her mobile phone while escaping from YAT. As YAT is about to return it to TSZ, the cellphone rings. YAT picks up the call and is shocked to hear that TSZ's seriously ill mother is lying dying in the hospital. Having learnt about TZE's miserable upbringing, YAT offers to help trace her whereabouts so that she can bid a final farewell to her mother. During his search for the girl, YAT comes to realize that TSZ is actually deaf and dumb. Members of the Dragon Boxing Gym have so much sympathy for the homeless TSZ that they all urge LUNG to put her up in the gym tentatively. KAU keeps ignoring SHING. Desperate to win her forgiveness, SHING decides to make a sincere confession of love to her in public. KAU is deeply touched and the pair have finally made up with each other.

Knowing that TING has intentionally misled him and caused his failure in the tournament, SHING is consumed with rage and asks the man for an explanation at once. TING points out that he is only trying to do SHING good by guarding him from arrogance and egotism. SHING decides to take part in the middleweight contest, in which he will be fighting against LUI KING from the Champ Boxing Gym for the championship. YAT tries to intercede for SHING, hoping that TING will allow SHING to participate in the contest on behalf of the Dragon Boxing Gym. Having heard what YAT says, TING begins to give in. LAM goes to the street food stall to pick up TING, during which they run into BOOKIE TUNG who has just returned from Thailand. TING fears that TUNG will manage to locate YAT's whereabouts sooner or later. LAM is well aware of TING's concern and promises to keep a close watch on TUNG all through his stay in Hong Kong. WAH goes to Tsuda Enterprise to wait for FAI, but FAI is still full of anger and refuses to meet him in person. YAT is moved by WAH's sincerity and finally offers to lend him a hand.

Upon returning from Thailand, YAT goes to see TING and asks him how he bribed CHATCHAI's assistant years ago only for his own sake. Filled with rage and remorse, YAT and TING have finally fallen out. YAT and GAT pass by a musical instrument store and are immediately attracted inside. Realizing that GAT is so interested in piano lessons, YAT promises to earn as much as he can and buy him a piano for daily practice. SHING goes to the Dragon Boxing Gym again after a couple of days trying to have a word with KAU. The pair have a terrible quarrel over their baby, and the whole scene has been caught by TSZ accidentally. Knowing that TSZ has injured her ankle, SAI-CHEUNG brings her to an orthopedic specialist for diagnosis and treatment. LUNG is astonished to hear that KAU has got pregnant and he means to give SHING the cold shoulder when the lad comes to ask for KAU's hand in marriage. Not wanting to be looked down upon by LUNG, SHING pledges to beat KING in the boxing contest. And if he succeeds in doing so, he will be allowed to marry KAU officially. YAT's father-in-law CHUN-FAN catches him shouting at GAT in the street. Desperate to defend GAT, FAN comes over and stops YAT at once.

FAN bashes YAT for being too useless to be a father, and proposes taking GAT to Canada so that the boy will have a better upbringing. SHING sneaks into the Dragon Boxing Gym to pay KAU a visit while LUNG and the rest of his boxing mates are out for tea. The Thai Boxing Association is seeking collaboration with healthcare professionals in arranging discounted medical services to its members. TING recommends LAW WING-CHING's younger brother Dr LAW WING-HANG for the position of Orthopedic Consultant with the Association, making CHING believe that TING is trying to win his support and get in league with him. TING brings the contract to Dr LAW's clinic on behalf of the Association, where he runs into CHEUNG and TSZ. CHEUNG refers to Dr LAW as a quack and blames him for misdiagnosing TSZ's ankle injury. YAT is not feeling well but still insists carrying on with his part-time job. GAT is so worried about YAT's physical health that he decides to call FAI up for help. CHEUNG reveals to LUNG how TING has tried to settle the dispute between TSZ and Dr LAW. Knowing what TING has done behind the scenes, LUNG is extremely enraged and disappointed. LUNG gives TING a severe telling-off, making TING believe that it is YAT who has revealed the secret to LUNG. FAN who is taken ill is sent to hospital for treatment. After a detailed check-up, FAN is diagnosed with serious diabetes.

Impressed and inspired by SHING's passionate performance on the boxing stage, YAT finally decides to follow his heart and accepts the post of Boxing Trainer with the Dragon Boxing Gym. WAH notices the uncanny intimacy between FAI and YAT, and seeks to find out more about their relationship. Knowing that CHEUNG is not feeling well, TSZ offers to practice scraping therapy for him. KAU challenges her boxing mates to a drinking competition during the wedding banquet despite her pregnancy, which irks SUET-FONG tremendously. SHING gives TING and LAM a terrible telling-off upon seeing them. Feeling so embarrassed, the couple leave the restaurant immediately. TSZ is so absorbed in the fight between YAT and boxer MAN KIN-SANG that she begins to show interest in this combat sport. SANG's father is a heavy gambler and asks the lad to settle his debts for him. FAI and YAT are on the phone but the line is suddenly disconnected. Fearing that YAT is involved in a car crash, FAI urges WAH to drive her to the spot for a look.

In need of an outlet to express her affection for YAT, FAI finally decides to share her feelings in a phone-in radio show. TSZ practices boxing secretly after everyone has left, but YAT who passes by has spotted everything. TSZ gets assaulted by a gang of youths while cleaning up litter in an alley. Recalling the boxing techniques that YAT taught her previously, TSZ fights back at once and manages to drive off the youths. Knowing that TSZ is engaged in boxing, CHEUNG is a little irked and urges YAT to stop teaching her. CHEUNG has not only found TSZ a new residence but also plucked up courage to declare his love for her. TSZ is deeply touched and the pair have finally become an item. FAI reiterates her determination to woo YAT even after his rejection. Desperate to expand his business, TING finally gives in and asks for LUK KWONG-CHIU's investment. SANG is knocked down by LIK right after his speedy attacks in the competition, which shocks every audience member to the core. SHING suspects that SANG is involved in match-fixing. Faced with his mates' endless questioning, SANG begins to lose control of himself and runs out of the stadium soon afterwards.

SANG is knocked down by a car and slips into a coma. SANG's father, KWOK-YIU, feels so guilty for causing his son to suffer like this. LUNG rebukes TING in the Thai Boxing Association meeting for bribing SANG, but TING denies the allegation at once. In support of TING, CHING takes out a newspaper claiming that it is LUNG who has pushed SANG to the verge of death as reported by the press. SHING and KAU are so surprised to see WAI upon their return home. FONG means to invite WAI to dine at home so that she can tease KAU and heap scorn on her by comparing her to WAI. SHING reveals to YAT that he is going to resign and spend one whole year on boxing, by which he hopes to progress further and compete at a higher level with boxers from all around the world. Knowing that CHEUNG is going out with TSZ, members of the Dragon Boxing Gym cannot help making fun of them. YAT gets a call from the pub staff asking him to pick up the dead drunk FAI. Noticing how concerned YAT is about FAI, TSZ comes to realize that he is also in love with the girl.

LUNG decides to bring SANG to an eminent medical specialist in Beijing for treatment, and is going to entrust the Dragon Boxing Gym to CHEUNG during his stay in China. LIK asks SHING about the match-fixing scandal. Having learnt about the truth, LIK is so disappointed that he decides to leave the Champ Boxing Gym. YAT and his boxing mates are shocked to read the news that LIK is alleged to have raped a woman called ANN, which SHING finds totally unbelievable. CHEUNG is going to pick TSZ up after work but catches her staying with YAT along the way. He follows them to YAT's residence and comes to discover that TSZ has been secretly practicing boxing under YAT's guidance. SHING's family has finally learnt about his resignation. Despite his unemployment, KAU is not prepared for job hunt and remains as lazy as ever. Her indolence has caused FONG so much trouble and even brought about her ankle injury later on. TING suspects that LIK's rape case is all a plot by LAM, which is denied by LAM soon afterwards. LIK fails to report to the police station as required, so YAT and his mates have to run around to look for the lad. YAT and SHING finally manage to convince LIK to attend the hearing in court.

With LAM's assistance, some significant new clues have emerged and the charge against LIK is finally dismissed. KAU is resolved to change her ways and finally manages to become a diligent and responsible wife and daughter-in-law. CHEUNG would like to buy TSZ a webcam and have it installed in her bedroom for security reasons. CHEUNG gets a call from his friend LEUNG asking him to help organize a charity boxing match. YAT and KWONG-CHI object to the idea of holding the charity match taking into account the Dragon Boxing Gym's financial capacity. Despite everyone's opposition, CHEUNG insists on carrying on with his plan. TSZ is defeated in the boxing match held by TING. Instead of cheers, she can only hear an array of discouraging remarks from CHEUNG. KING means to provoke SHING during the boxing competition. FAI reveals to TSZ that she is marrying WAH very soon. Not wanting YAT to let go of FAI, TSZ relays the news to him at once.

YAT finally gives in to his feelings and admits his love for FAI. Surprised and excited, FAI brings YAT to the airport planning to fly around the world with him. After both of them have calmed down a bit, YAT decides to give up on FAI and asks her to marry WAH as planned. As a result of his malicious attacks against KING during the match, SHING is suspended from competition for one year. CHEUNG keeps pestering TSZ after their official break-up. Knowing that CHEUNG has mortgaged the Dragon Boxing Gym to raise money for the charity boxing match, TSZ immediately notifies YAT and his boxing mates. Though unhappy about CHEUNG and what he did, YAT and the rest of his mates decide to carry on with the project so as to protect the reputation of the Dragon Boxing Gym. The charity match is about to start, but the boxers' manager LEO says CHEUNG has not yet paid the bill and urges him to settle the outstanding amount without any further delay. Realizing that CHEUNG has been conned, YAT turns to TING for help at once. Having drunk himself into oblivion, CHEUNG goes to TSZ's workplace and attempts to rape her.

It has been a year since CHEUNG left the Dragon Boxing Gym. KAU has given birth to a baby girl while TSZ has also settled down well in the BUTs' apartment. After one year's training, SHING is finally able to take part in the Guangdong-HK-Macau Boxing Tournament. With YAT's committed and skilful teaching, SHING manages to beat his opponent from Macau and becomes the Boxing Champion of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. TSZ has never won a game, so YAT is resolved to find out the reason and help her improve her boxing techniques. Rumors are going around the boxing field that CHEUNG is deep in debt and needs to borrow heavily to survive. TING has located CHEUNG and offers to hire him as a Boxing Trainer. SHING is so upset when he discovers that the Macau boxer that he once defeated has replaced him in a TV commercial and quickly risen to popularity. YAT begins to worry about FAI when he reads in the newspaper that WAH has been seriously injured in a car accident.

FAI forgets to pay for her shopping in the supermarket and almost gets caught on the spot. Luckily YAT is around and manages to save her from the predicament just in time. He shows his concern about FAI and WAH and wonders how they are getting on with WAH's paralysis. WAH shows up in a press conference and manages to play down a lot of unfavourable rumors about his family-run corporation with his confident demeanour. WAH's paralysis is in fact a huge blow to him while FAI has been mentally tortured by him and living in sheer agony. SHING encounters VICKY while jogging on the peak. VICKY wishes to borrow money from SHING but ends up dragging him inside a mansion to wreak havoc. VICKY's boyfriend comes to have a word with LAM, during which LAM is shocked to hear that VICKY is having an adulterous relationship with a married man. Not wanting VICKY to cause any more trouble, LAM decides to get her a job in the Champ Boxing Gym. Knowing that SHING has been on bad terms with TING, VICKY begins to show interest in SHING. With her continued efforts, TSZ has finally won her first championship. SHING, on the other hand, is very unhappy about YAT who forbids him to take part in the contest.

Knowing that his daughter has been maltreated by WAH, FAI's father, KAM-WING, tries to get FAI to divorce WAH, but to no avail. Despite WAH's physical and psychological maltreatment day after day, FAI is still so keen to defend him. YAT is so angry with WAH that he decides to have a word with him. While the two of them are still quarrelling over FAI, the hospital calls suddenly to inform them of FAI's sudden disappearance. Having caught FAI slowly walking down into the sea, YAT jumps in to rescue her at once. TING asks to cease collaboration with CHIU, so CHIU turns to SHING and suggests establishing another boxing gym in partnership with him. SHING welcomes CHIU's idea and promises to work with him right away. VICKY enjoys teasing SHING and is proud to have got him firmly under her thumb. SZETO SOU and the rest of his mates congratulate SHING on his nomination for the Hong Kong Ten Outstanding Athletes Election. But out of the blue, SHING announces his plan to set up a boxing gym of his own, which has come as a great shock to everyone. WAH is found dead at home while FAI is seen holding his body without any facial expression.

At WING's request, YAT tries to convince FAI to reveal the truth to the police, but FAI insists that it is she who has caused WAH's death. SHING has won the Hong Kong Ten Outstanding Athletes Election, and YAT is generous enough to have brought all his boxing mates to the award ceremony to share his joy. SHING is so desperate to please CHIU that he gives all the credit to the man in his speech of thanks. Members of the Dragon Boxing Gym are all very unhappy about SHING's attitude and rebuke him for being too ungrateful. VICKY comes to celebrate with SHING and manages to have sex with him after her continuous seduction. After a night of passion, SHING finally gets back home, and learns from his neighbors why KAU has failed to attend the award ceremony. CHEUNG is shocked to discover that TSZ has had such a crush on YAT. Consumed with anger and jealousy, CHEUNG gives YAT a good telling-off for dallying with TSZ. FAI has left a suicide note before she goes missing. YAT is so worried about her that he hustles around to look for her. Knowing that she has got pregnant, VICKY goes straight to the BUTs' residence and reveals to KAU her adulterous relationship with SHING.

KAU needs SHING to choose between her and VICKY, but SHING is hesitant and even tries to intercede for the girl. Knowing that SHING is not going to give up on VICKY, KAU asks for a divorce. In order to seek revenge on TING, CHIU means to lure him into financial trouble. CHEUNG suggests offering package tickets to the clients so that TING and LAM can raise more capital for the Champ Boxing Gym within a short period of time. YAT has found TSZ another boxing trainer, making TSZ realize that he is actually trying to avoid her. FAI finds it so hard to concentrate on her work after WAH's death. Desperate for a break, she decides to resign and go on a trip overseas. TING has no choice but to put his boxing gym up for sale. CHEUNG brings the new boxing gym owner to a meeting with TING. TING and the rest of his staff are all shocked to core to see CHIU coming along with CHEUNG. On his way to the airport, YAT suddenly realizes how unwise it is to escape responsibility. As the boxing trainer of SHING, YAT is resolved to get the lad back to the right track. Knowing that TSZ has given up on boxing, YAT goes to have a word with her hoping that she will have a change of heart.

As the spokesperson for the Empire Boxing Gym, SHING has been exhausted with all sorts of promotion and public relations work. VICKY comes to FONG's birthday dinner without being invited, and ends up causing a lot of havoc for SHING and his family. YAT would like to have LIK compete against SHING in the boxing match held by the Empire Boxing Gym, through which he hopes to tone down SHING's arrogance a bit and teach him a lesson. SHING manages to spend some quality time with his daughter, during which KAU asks if he has received the divorce agreement from the legal firm. CHEUNG realizes that SHING's physical condition is deteriorating at a high speed. To ensure SHING's victory in the boxing match, CHEUNG orders his henchmen to attack LIK so that he cannot take part in the competition as planned. As everyone is worrying about LIK's injury and his inevitable withdrawal from the boxing match, YAT has decided to substitute LIK in the contest. TSZ finally gives in to YAT's enthusiasm and gets back into boxing again. SHING passes by the changing room before the boxing match officially starts, where he overhears his mates from the Dragon Boxing Gym joking with one another. Recalling his good old days at the Dragon Boxing Gym, SHING gets a little upset.

After a few rounds of intense fighting, YAT finally manages to defeat SHING. Following his failure in the boxing match, SHING comes to realise what boxing is truly about, and submits his resignation to CHIU right away. SHING goes to the Dragon Boxing Gym and makes a formal apology to YAT. Once again he declares his love for KAU and refuses to divorce her. SHING comes to discover that he has been tricked by VICKY. The pair have soon got into a terrible quarrel, during which VICKY is so worked up that she finally suffers a miscarriage. FAI returns from overseas, and painfully reveals to YAT how she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. VICKY keeps pestering SHING and even frames him for forcing her into drug trafficking. The Empire Boxing Gym is seeking an 8-figure sum of compensation from SHING. Not wanting to get KAU into trouble, SHING decides to divorce her. KAU goes to see CHEUNG trying to negotiate for a smaller amount of compensation. SHING is shocked to hear that KAU is found lying dead in an alley.

LUNG is devastated by the death of KAU while SHING, who is desperately guilt-ridden, can only keep the grief inside. CHEUNG has been very unsettled and absent-minded since the demise of KAU. VICKY goes to see CHEUNG at the Empire Boxing Gym, during which she tries to blackmail him with a video clip. The State General Administration of Sports of PRC has invited YAT to teach boxing in Beijing. LUNG would like to close the Dragon Boxing Gym, and all his former and existing students have felt a great sense of loss upon hearing the news. FAI takes YAT to the church all of a sudden and asks the priest to officiate at their totally impromptu wedding. Following the ceremony, FAI reveals to YAT that she is heading for the States to try a new treatment, and promises to come back for a reunion a year later. LAM follows VICKY back to her place and is shocked to discover the clip of CHEUNG killing KAU. Desperate to get back her mobile phone, VICKY puts up a fight with LAM and gets knocked down by a car in the confusion. Knowing that he can neither put the murderer in prison nor take his life to avenge KAU's death, SHING is plunged into despair and is going to kill himself in a crash.

SHING returns to the Dragon Boxing Gym with injuries, following which LUNG suddenly has a change of heart and offers to entrust the boxing gym to SHING. SHING has finally pulled himself together and tries to look after his daughter and the Dragon Boxing Gym in the best way possible, which has come as a huge relief to LUNG. CHEUNG has appointed Thai boxer THAWONG as the new spokesperson for the Empire Boxing Gym, and announces in a press conference his decision to hold the Asia-Pacific Empire Cup. CHIU discovers that CHEUNG has embezzled a large sum of money from the Empire Boxing Gym. Consumed with rage, he orders CHEUNG to settle the amount within a fixed period of time. CHEUNG goes to meet the illegal gambling bookmaker YOCHAI asking for collaboration in match-fixing. CHING reveals to LUNG that CHEUNG has been engaging in match-fixing. In order to thwart CHEUNG's plan, YAT decides to enrol for the Asia-Pacific Empire Cup. YAT has made it to the finals and is to compete against THAWONG in the last race of the series. CHEUNG manages to sneak out of the stadium but gets besieged by CHIU and his henchmen. As CHIU is about to kill CHEUNG, TSZ shows up all of a sudden and tries to shield him with her body.
