No Regrets

Year 1984; Guangzhou. Human bones have been found at a construction site. It is believed that the site was a burial mount where the Japanese buried anti-Japanese citizens during the Japanese occupation. As soon as she hears the news, CHENG KAU-MUI goes to the site with her granddaughter and two friends, TONG KAT and YEUNG YEUNG, immediately. In 1936, KAT’s grandmother sold her piece of land and a cow so that she could have the money to bribe Superintendent LEUNG FEI-FAN to find GAT a job in his police station. Captain LAU SING’s plot to earn some quick money has thus been ruined. KAT’s timidity creates a bad impression on SING. Tung Tai Company, which is owned by gang kingpin CHENG LONG-KWAN, has got the license to run an opium den. At the opening of his first licensed opium den, his eldest daughter, MUI, goes down from Shanghai to attend the happy occasion……

SING and his team have arrested the robbers. When the Chief visits the police station, FAN takes all the credits as well as the award. LONG-HEI and the others discuss how to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tung Tai Company. LEUNG decides to hold a banquet at a hotel. HEI suggests letting KIT take charge of some of MUI’s businesses. To her surprise, MUI offers to let KIT take whole charge of her operations. SING tells KAT to place a Pacapio bet for him. KAT is robbed on the way. MOK YIN-PING, a passer-by, advises him to turn to CHOI TAI-FUNG, the most influential man in town, for help. SING has won the Pacapio Grand Prize of over seven thousand dollars. KIT and FUNG refuse to give the prize money to him, because if SING really has placed a bet, there should be a copy of his ticket at the Tung Tai Pacapio Company. In the midst of their argument, MUI shows up and settles the matter. KIT wants to take PING home by force……

FUNG sends his men to track KAT down but to no avail. KWAN is very angry when he learns that KIT has been shot, so much so that he mobilizes all his followers to search for KAT. FUNG and HEI are holding an anniversary celebration. FAN takes his men to report the progress of the search. YEUNG recognizes that a cleaning staff at the ball is a relative of KAT’s. YEUNG and SING find KAT at last. KAT tells them how KIT was shot. SING and YEUNG return to the police station to look for information of a suicide case. They then visit CHOI HING, a key person of the case, only to find that HING has moved. FAN and KWAN force SING to reveal KAT’s whereabouts but he refuses to give in. MUI manages to make him open his mouth by asking him in an indirect way. The hospital calls and informs KWAN about KIT’s death. He breaks down when he hears KIT’s last wish and is determined to gun KAT down himself.
