The Last Steep Ascent

Having managed to bribe Chief CHUNG KAM, SAI-HO shows off to his father and brings up the issues regarding OI-TAI. Gnashing his teeth in rage, KWAN-YIU swears to make it publicly known, but SAI-HO advises him to be patient. Knowing that Madam HUNG is cooking the bird's nest for OI-TAI to eat, SAI-MAN cannot help getting utterly jealous. MEI-KUEN intends to perform a ritual for her adoption of OI-TAI, so she plans to invite members and relatives from the clan as well as friends to attend. Going downstairs from MIU TIN's home in order to buy some white champaca, OI-TAI runs into CHAN SHING - the hoodlum who raped her. Fortunately CHENG KIU passes by, giving CHAN SHING a good thrashing. PIK-KEE approaches SAI-MAN to probe into things about OI-TAI, yet she unwittingly finds out all the jewelry that SAI-MAN is wearing are in fact counterfeit. In representation of the Ho Ching Tong Pharmacy, MIU TIN attends the Chamber of Pharmacies Dinner, where he learns about CHAI-MAN's eye injury from his representative, YIM-PING, through a private talk. As OI-TAI bumps into CHAN SHING again on the street, he is soon taken into police custody. By bribing the police who then coerce CHAN SHING into giving a confession, SAI-HO eventually gets a grasp of everything about OI-TAI.
