At the Threshold of an Era 2

NICK brought along LING to a fund raising party. PING swore to destroy the casino plan and persuaded LING to leave NICK. LING then asked the driver to take her to the beach for a walk and she disappeared. NICK was worried and called the police. He became so angry he ordered to kill PING. TIM received a mysterious call that PING was in danger. PING’s car was besieged. CHUNG protected PING with his own life. When TIM arrived, CHUNG was in critical condition. KEUNG went to see NICK about LING and they had a fight. TIM suspected FUN was the mysterious caller and went to see her but was found out by NICK. NICK suspected FUN had leaked out his secrets and ordered HO to kill FUN. TIM waited at the eatery for the mysterious caller but KAM appeared. HO kidnapped both KAM and TIM and forced NICK to kill his own father. NICK shot at HO and others, but had no bullets left to kill TIM. NICK dragged TIM to a car hoping to bury him……

There was a little progress with the Smokeless City Plan. KEUNG strongly asked TIM to abandon the plan. NICK proposed to LING and succeeded. NICK accused himself from the plan to get married. TIM refused to accept his resignation. NICK persuaded JAN to have a surgery. TIM stayed aside JAN and asked KEUNG to take care of Smokeless City. NA prayed to exchange her own well-being for the good of YIP’s family. TIM was touched. GAN was ordered to kidnap MAN and KEUNG. During JAN’s surgery operation, TIM found out MAN and KEUNG being kidnapped and reported to the police. NA suspected it was GAN’s deed and rushed to the Yuen Long stone hut. After knowing Smokeless City had been rejected by the government, LEUNG let lose of MAN and KEUNG. NICK gave the false order to kill them. GAN released them instead. When the two got themselves loose, the place was set on fire during the struggle. GAN escaped from the fire……

NICK told TIM he had swallowed up $5 million company money which had been taken away by CHAK. This made TIM trust him more. CHAK’s embezzlement was reviewed and he also lost in stock margin. YAU persuaded CHAK to create a false account. NICK actively abstained himself from interfering LING and KEUNG so LING agreed to take the wedding photos with KEUNG. KEUNG was very happy. LING found out about CHUN’s news of having AIDS and felt uneasy. NICK consoled her. KEUNG went to LING’s home and saw LING in NICK’s arms. LING told KEUNG that she could not marry KEUNG just yet. KEUNG was disappointed. NICK accused KEUNG of sending someone to beat him up and persuaded LING not to tell KEUNG about CHUN having raped her. KEUNG got himself drunk. NA wanted to help out between LING and KEUNG but TIM stopped NA. PING wanted to buy back YIP’s family home. LEUNG was angry about PING still missing LAI and refused……

LING rushed to informed NICK. NICK was surprised and happy. LING said TIM did not kill BILL and asked NICK to stop hurting TIM. LING fainted when trying on the wedding gown. When seeing KEUNG worry, LING was confused. NICK persuaded her to go back to Taiwan with him. KEUNG was busy preparing for the wedding and even bought a wedding ring. LING found NICK had bought a return ticket and knew NICK had not given up about his revenge and she decided not to go on board the plane. After that, LING went to tell TIM about everything. NICK asked LEUNG to send someone to beat up NICK. LING and others rushed to the hospital. TIM said he did not mind what NICK did. NICK pretended that he could not accept the fact that he had taken his revenge wrongly and even chased LING away. LING was ashamed to see KEUNG but KEUNG said he understood her difficulty. NICK left the hospital secretly. TIM and LING found NICK in front of BILL’s tomb……

NICK suggested to LEUNG to use CHAK to attack TIM and asked LEUNG to send a subordinate, YAU to trick CHAK to buy the stock margins. GAN bumped into TIM and NA and was so angry that he beat TIM up seriously. GAN and NA did not talk to each other. LING told KEUNG that she needed to move out of KEUNG’s place. KEUNG felt at lost. That night, KEUNG asked LING to stay together with him and LING did not know what to react. LING went home and thought about KEUNG’s attentiveness and had a decision. NICK was aware that LING would marry KEUNG soon and felt very disturbed. KEUNG went in line to book the marriage registration and NICK went to the pub to get himself drunk. FUN asked NICK to go find LING and talked it over. NICK went to see LING and pointed LING belonged to him, and even forced himself on LING. LING hurried to the marriage registration place to meet up with KEUNG and felt right about choosing KEUNG……

NA did not hurt TIM so she stole his passport but still she could not stop TIM. NA blurted out that YIN would get married. TIM was disappointed but felt happy for YIN. TIM understood NA’s good intention and gave her an apology note. NA was much pleased. TIM received LUNG’s second fund but LUNG was being reported of smuggling and all his funds were frozen. TIM thought it was LEUNG’s deed. PING helped TIM to contact a Taiwan senior government official, NG but NG said TIM had hooked up with the triad so he could not help him. The stock price fell due to the cancellation of Smokeless City. TIM was depressed and NA made use of a game to give him encouragement. The next day TIM re-shaped himself and wanted to bid for an environmental housing plan. KEUNG felt relieved. LING suddenly woke up but she could not recognize NICK.
