Three years later, Fung Yu-Sau is a martial artist who challenges retired martial arts master Mak Wing-Yan in a fight and soon kills him. Hahou learns about Wing-Yan's death and tells Inspector Luk Yuen-Sum that he offers to aid her in capturing the killer with his martial arts skills in exchange for his freedom. After agreeing his terms, Luk temporarily releases Hahou.

After reuniting with his wife Sinn Ying, Hahou, along with Luk soon learns about Yu-sau's identity. They also finds that Yu-Sau is actually obsessed of defeating great martial artists in order to become a martial arts master and also forget his wife's death.

Yu-sau escapes again, but Hahou tracks him at the highway and the two intensively battle each other. After the fight, Yu-sau gets shot by Luk while Hahou is taken to the hospital.
