At that very moment, his son Charles drops a soda can, crashing through the window of the factory van Bao is driving, causing it to crash into Xie˘s loanshark. Xie hires former police detective Bao as a security guard for the gem, building an exhibition around it at Lohan Temple so as to raise its value.
