Shades of Truth

Senior Inspector of the Regional Crime Unit LAM TSI CHUNG is a young, outstanding member of the Police. He is so committed to his job that he never cares about his subordinates’ feelings. He does not believe in love but is most interested in one-night-stands. MO CHUN, a decent character in the Chinese masterpiece “Water Margin”, is always a hero in the eyes of Police Constable HA CHUN YAM. Under the influence of MO CHUN, YAM has always had a feeling of disgust for loose or sexy-looking women. Among those recommended by Superintendent CHUI WAI SUM, FAI MAN BUN, a very brilliant cadet, is chosen as CHUNG’s assistant while YAM is assigned to assist Senior Inspector K Y WONG. MAN FUNG LIN, the owner of Leung-Shan-Pok Pub, gets harassed because of her sexy outfit, during which YAM passes by and offers to get her out of the predicament. YAM points out that it is the way LIN dresses that has caused her trouble, with which LIN does not agree.… ...

YAM falls over and goes into a coma, during which he has a dream that he, being the MO CHUN of 900 years ago, is making an engagement with his blood mother LAM CHUNG on the Naihe Bridge so that they can meet again and complete their mission in the next life. K Y WONG needs YAM to infiltrate into PO’s gang and, for this reason, has arranged a series of training sessions for the lad. YAM realizes that he has changed a lot since he awoke from the coma. He keeps claiming that he is the reincarnated MO CHUN, which is just a big joke to K Y WONG. YAM goes to rent a rooftop as his new accommodation, during which he gets to know LIN’s mother MAN LAI BING. To facilitate money laundering, PO has set up the new Hero Restaurant. PO’s mistress SISTER JANET, along with his assistants DAREDEVIL and the YIK Brothers, KWAN and TSUN, has helped with the grand opening of the restaurant.… ...

CHUNG is chosen as the “Star of the Police” and even has an interview with LIN who works as a part-time DJ. SIMON has come to hassle LIN again and the whole scene is recorded by journalists.

DAREDEVIL suffers an epileptic fit whilst being questioned by CHUNG. Luckily YAM manages to save his life in the nick of time. Feeling that YAM has once again embarrassed him, CHUNG just hates him more and more. CHUNG keeps contacting LIN hoping to get back the watch. LIN, on the other hand, believes that he is only trying to make an excuse to approach her, which annoys her no end. YAM has got a stronger feeling that he is the reincarnated MO CHUN. During the lucky draw session held at LIN’s pub, YAM has more than twice drawn the MO CHUN card, which has further convinced him of the relationship between him and MO CHUN. YAM believes that LAM CHUNG is reincarnated too and he is so desperate to meet him again. DAREDEVIL brings YAM and LOK to a nightclub. There YAM happens to meet his old classmate HONG CHI SIN again, who has come to find her stepbrother LOK.… ...

PO has successfully reclaimed control over KEI, KWUN and FAN. With his help, KWAN has become the person-in-charge of Causeway Bay. SIN has been looking out for LOK in every possible way but LOK does not seem to be grateful. To avoid her, LOK even asks to put up at YAM’s home. SIN and her mother TANG YUK CHU are queuing in a bank, during which an armed robber bursts in suddenly. SIN has accidentally picked up the hand grenade left by the robber. CHUNG manages to save her life by grabbing the grenade from her hand. SIN is grateful for his help and has had a very good impression of him ever since then.

On SIN’s first day as a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, CHUNG suddenly pops up.… ...

YAM has tried every possible way to get CHUNG to remember the past, which annoys CHUNG immensely. K Y WONG knows it is no good for YAM to pester CHUNG in this way. He orders YAM to cease the operation but YAM promises that he will try to control himself. Some patients do not have confidence in the rather inexperienced SIN, which is a huge disappointment to her. CHUNG offers to teach her some skills in dealing with patients, which is found to be work well. LIN goes to visit BING who has recently injured herself. The two of them, however, end up bickering over trivia again. WING is so devastated by her break-up with HING that she has decided to take her life.
