Head of an investigation team Fong Kwok-fai (Andy Lau) and his teammates, are probing into the games arcades run by Cho Chiu Sin (Tony Leung).

He also schemes to redeem himself by running for Taiwan??s Nationalist Party seat. Feng successfully finds evidence to indict Chou, but the judge is bribed into ruling him innocent...
