because he has planted a mole within CIB. Ultimately, Mok Yat-lit is sent to jail. Under the advice of his lawyers, he manipulates his mistress to take the fall for the bulk of his recent crimes and he agrees to plead guilty under lesser charges for a few months in jail. However, even in jail, Mok Yat-lit's influence on Yee Fung still remains strong. Sensing the ambitious nature of Michael, he has one of his lieutenants kill Michael; ironically, the lieutenant sides with Michael and has him killed in a jail shower. After his death, Michael wins the election and becomes the new Dragon Head of Yee Fung. After gaining control of Yee Fung, Michael sets his sights to greater goals by joining a secret black organization: Ether Union. Ether Union is a group of influential businessmen who share their resources together to mutually gain greater riches than either could've done individually. Ether Union fell as Laughing's interventions eventually leads to the downfall of both Ether Union and Yee Fung. The majority of the Ether Union members escape, but they were all suspicious of Michael as one of them received information from a police mole that Michael had incriminating evidence against them in his home. To prevent further doubt, Michael blames all of the accusations on his wife, Paris (Kate Tsui). He shoots her and throws her body in the water to prevent further doubt. However, all of the Ether Union members were eventually tracked and arrested, except for Michael. During a confrontation with Michael, Jodie is held as a hostage in an industrial building. When the members of Ether Union were arrested, their utility rings were also confiscated. These rings contained an alarm system as well as a laser decoder that flashed the numbers of a secret account containing vast riches. With all except Michael arrested, Michael is left with sole access to the secret account. The hostage situation doesn't go well; Michael has to flee, but he flings Jodie over the hangar to her death. Enraged with her death, Laughing lures Michael out and kills him by shooting him in the chest. After the police arrive, Laughing is arrested and found guilty of murder. For his crime, he is jailed for life. After these occurrences, Kung-sir retired from his position as superintendent for CIB. Lap Ching would become a decorated CIB agent and returned to the undercover life.
