**It's actually a little more complicated than that. [[spoiler: The San Lian triad's leader thought that Pi Zi was the son of the woman he loved when he was young, so he "fixed him up" (see Dark and Troubled Past above). It turns out that Zai Tian was actually adopted by that woman, who died when Zai Tian was a boy, and that the biological son of that woman is Ying Xiong.]]

Wu "Hero" Ying Xiong is the top detective of the South branch of the police department (SDPD). Believing that law and justice are the pillars of society, he is a by-the-book investigator who zealously chases the bad guys. Chen Zai Tian (also called Pi Zi), is considered the top detective of the North branch of the department (NDPD), but appears to be completely incompetent. Newly assigned to SDPD, he drinks coffee, flirts with every pretty woman in sight, drives a yellow Porsche, gets mysterious tips from a fax machine in a restaurant, and generally is a much more laid back person. Or so it seems. Assigned together, the two must learn to overcome attitudes on both sides and act as a team to protect the citizens, investigating members of the local triad The San Lian Gang, other shadowy figures of the underworld, and even members of law.
