Jing Fung spent an hour telling his daughter the whole story and she was as shocked and surprised as he had been.
Jing Tien wanted to reunite Jiao Ring and his brother, Qiang Shang, because she liked him and had heard his story
about how hard he had worked in life so that his children could go to school and have the opportunities he never
had. Jing Fung naturally agreed with everything except allowing Qiang Shang to marry his daughter. Jing Tien
laughed and said that she could think of another way for the gangster’s dream to come true.
A few days later, Jing Tien and her father got a lift from Jiao Ring and asked to be taken to Qiang Shang's house so
that they could put their plans into action. When the father and daughter arrived, they asked Qiang Shang to
come downstairs as they wanted him to come to the studio for an audition. They said that one of the actors was
sick and they had told the director of the movie that they knew somebody who was perfect for the role. Qiang
Shang was already very excited to see Jing Tien and believed her when she told him it was a very last minute
decision.
Qiang Shang followed the pair to where the rickshaw was parked and when he saw Jiao Ring, he stopped and
stared at him. Jiao Ring stared back, when they were together they looked even more alike. Jing Fung spoke
first, "This is our driver,he is a good man and does not know his real family.”
The brothers hugged and spent an hour in the rickshaw telling each other about their lives. "I feel like I have
known you my whole life, "said Qiang Shang.
Jing Fung and his daughter were happy for the brothers, she said to Qiang Shang, "there is still one thing left to do,
we must get married today, I'm afraid it's only in the movie though!" Everyone laughed and they drove to the
studio to say, "I do ".
