Placed at gunpoint, Spareribs tearfully thanks Sing and his police colleagues for treating him well and trying to save him. Just before he is to be shot, Kau Mui sees someone who looks like the suspect Sing told her about. She stops her father from executing Spareribs and gives him a chance to identify the killer, and sure enough Spareribs chooses her suspect - Choi Hing, Siu-kit's accountant. Choi Hing confesses to killing Siu-kit for revenge, because Siu-kit had driven his wife to suicide. The gang imprisons Choi Hing, and Spareribs finally becomes friends with Sing. Sing's wife Tung-nei (Elena Kong) returns to Guangzhou and tells Sing that she wants them to move to Macau to help out at her uncle's bread shop, but Sing refuses. His sister Ching Ching (Fala Chen) also returns to Guangzhou after staying in Hong Kong for several months. Yeung Yeung (Raymond Wong) tells her that his brother and wife aren't in good terms because Sing spends most of his income to pay for her hospitalisation fees and school tuition in Hong Kong. Feeling grateful, Ching Ching tells them that she's fully healed and she will try her best to earn money to repay them. With Siu-kit's death, Long-kwan's eldest son Siu-hong (Ben Wong) writes a proposal for his father and tells him that he is ready to get back into the industry, but Long-kwan tells him to follow under Miss Kau for now. Siu-hong knows this is because of his past mistakes and reluctantly agrees, but Long-hei is displeased with this arrangement and calls Miss Kau a stealer. Kau Mui points out that she is capable of stealing becaus her brothers were too weak and unfit for leadership.
