It's now Man Suk's turn at the police station. Ming and Ching rushed to the police station upon hearing that Man Suk was there. Mei explained the situation to her brothers. She was at the cafe to help Ying Ying collect a watch from Ying Ying's ex-boyfriend. Mei wanted to use the toilet at the cafe. When she opened the toilet door, she accidentally cut her finger and there was blood. Mei, who faints at the sight of blood, becomes woozy. Luckily there was a man there to catch her before she falls. And that's when Man Suk saw them. Without waiting for any explanation, Man Suk immediately punched the man.
