PAO is confused as many famous doctors have disappeared. As most of the doctors' families receive letters from them which state that they are save, CHIU waits outside SIT's house. It is because SIT's family still have not received any information from SIT. At last CHIU finds a masked man sending the letter. The masked man manages to escape. CHIU suspects that the masked man is FAY who has disappeared for seven years. Meanwhile the Mother Queen suffers from incurable disease. The Emperor orders HAU to deliver the "Thousand-year Amber" to the Mother Queen for treatment. However it is stolen by FAY that night. HAD's daughter-in-law is killed. PAO is responsible for the investigation work. He gives the order to arrest FAY. In fact FAY kidnaps famous doctors and steals the amber so as to cure his wife.

FAY was a famous official working in the Yemen. He was a mighty and chivalrous fighter. Seven years ago, he met MAN who was a thief. They mutually attracted each other. They decides to quit their work and lead a normal life. Before they retire, MAN killed the "Ten Demons" but unfortunately MAN was poisoned. For all the seven years, FAY has been trying his best to cure her but in vain. FAY cannot cure MAN with the amber as it is not the real one. HAD's son YIN had taken to real one and sold it to FUK to pay his debt. He was shocked when he learnt that the Emperor wanted it for the Mother Queen's treatment. His wife KIT warned him that he should tell HAD but he was so angry that he killed KIT. He blamed FAY as the killer. CHID believes that FAY is the thief as it is FAY who has the talent to get into HAU's house and take the amber. KIT is killed in such a way that FAY should not be the killer.

Mais tarde, HAU encontra YIN pedindo desculpas em frente ao túmulo de KIT. Ele questiona YIN e ao saber do fato, decide se livrar de todos aqueles que conhecem o caso para a fama de sua família. KONG é enviado para matar FUK e HUNG, que é uma prostituta, para conseguir o verdadeiro âmbar. KONG também é instruído a matar FAY. FUK e HUNG têm sorte e escapam. Eles fogem com o âmbar. Enquanto isso, FAY usa o âmbar falsificado para curar o HOMEM e isso só piora sua situação. CHIU encontra FAY e quer prendê-lo. Eles brigam e KONG vem para matar FAY. KONG é expulso por CHIU e FAY. No tribunal, FAY admite que sequestrou os médicos e roubou o âmbar. No entanto, ele afirma que não matou KIT.
