Meanwhile, Lee Kwok Kit (Samuel Hui), a kung fu expert, who works at a Vitasoy plant factory and spends most of the time doing kung fu tricks to impress a girl, ultimately loses his job. Seeking to find another line of work, Lee attempts to joins Wong’s detective agency. Despite Lee’s impression with his kung fu talent which involves his snatching trick, Wong was not impressed.
