When Chong Jun, one of Stanley Ho's most trusted associates, is murdered, Inspector Weng Le is assigned to the case and strongly suspects Stanley Ho's involvement. Despite Weng Le's request to interrogate Stanley Ho, the Chief refuses due to a lack of concrete evidence. Meanwhile, Tacito, a business partner of Stanley Ho and a drug dealer, warns Stanley Ho of Weng Le's suspicions and inquiries about Leong Lee, a wanted individual seeking refuge at Stanley Ho's casino. Stanley Ho denies any connection to Leong. Stanley Ho orders Tacito to keep watch over the investigation and inform him if Chong Jun's diary, containing information on Stanley Ho's illicit activities, is found.
