Hui Wai Tak tells people's fortunes by feeling their bones. In reality though, he is a scam artist who gathers information on his clients in advance and uses it to milk them for money.

After facing the wrath of his wife, Ho decides to get revenge and sends junior assessor Yau Ho Kay to investigate Hui's income.
