Complete Monster: Paul Tai Chi-man is introduced as a philanthropist and a charity leader, but turns out to be a drug baron whose charitable identity is only a mere cover, as shown in a scene where he had an old man and a little girl blown up for interrupting his banquet. When the new Commissioner, Inspector Cheung, confiscate and burns a shipment of Paul's drugs, Paul retaliates by sending his minions to attack Cheung's pregnant wife, causing her to have a miscarriage, and kill Cheung's father-in-law, while smugly advising Cheung to attend church more often to gain blessings. Eager to stop Cheung's detective unit from exposing him, Paul had every member of the unit hunted and murdered; kills Cheung's wife—still suffering from her Tragic Stillbirth—in a Gangland Drive-By; has Cheung's ally Wu-jun brutally beaten up and raped until she is Driven to Suicide; and has Cheung captured, tortured and framed for drug possession, causing Cheung to be imprisoned. When Cheung ultimately had Paul exposed via Engineered Public Confession in a crowded theater, Paul instead orders his henchmen to barricade all doors and kill everyone to Leave No Witnesses, as well as shooting his subordinate for outliving his usefulness. In the epilogue, Paul would be acquitted of all charges due to lack of incriminating evidence, and continue to rule over the Shanghai underworld as a drug lord while posing as a philanthropist.
