In Response To: Questions!!! (X-CaLiBRE)

> It's episode 41 here in Malaysia. Anyway... here are
> my questions and i hope you guys can help me!
> 1. Is Tim gonna marry Ah Na?

Whether he marries her or not we don't know but they are back together at the end of the last episode so I think we can presume that they do eventually marry.

> 2. When Ah Lik knew that Ah Keung still like Ling,
> will he try to kill Ah Keung?

Ep 41... hmmmm, are Lik & Ling married yet? Anyway, I'm going to presume they are married already. Actually, I don't think that Lik ever thinks that Keung stops loving Ling, Lik just thinks he's won. I think he also suspects that Ling hasn't stopped loving Keung and that's why he reacts the way he does. If I don't remember wrong, Lik slaps Ling after he finds out that Keung & Ling have a chance meeting. When Keung looks for Ling to return her her cel phone, Lik sees them together. Ling stops Lik from beating up Keung but after they return to their home, Lik beats the crap out of her. Ling leaves and goes to stay in a hotel. By chance, Keung sees her there and sees her bruised face. She brushes it aside and returns to her room. While there Lik comes and tries to get her to go back with him, unfortunately Keung shows up with some medication for Lik & Lik is livid. After that, Lik sets Keung's apartment on fire (Keung is in the apartment) to force Ling to return to him. Meanwhile, Tim receives a mysterious phone call and he rushes to Keung's apartment and saves him.

> 3. Will Nga Man die? Why?

Yes. Fok Kin Leong & Lik kidnap Keung & Nga Man as they are on their way to an important meeting because they want the financing for the Smog-free city to fail. Shui & his gang kidnaps the 2 and place them in a shack. During an escape attempt, Shui & Nga Man accidentally set the shack on fire and Nga Man dies in the fire.

> 4. Will Ah Chak help Ah Lik to frame Lik Tin?

No, Ah Chak won't help Lik because he hates Lik. What Chak doesn't know is that the man who is tempting him to make illegal business decisions is Lik's henchman. Anyway, Chak doesn't want Lik Tin to fail, he just wants to prove himself to his brother. Chak is also a little greedy by this time. Lik's henchman will try and get Chak to use his father's name for some illegal transaction. Chak considers it but draws the line at getting his father in trouble. Unfortunately, just as Chak was about to turn himself in, Lik reports on him and uses his henchman to frame Chak's father.

> 5. What will happen to Fok Kin Leong at the end? Will
> he be killed with Ah Lik?

After Lik gains control of all Fok Kin Leong owns, he kills him.

> 6. What will happen to Shui?

Lik sends his henchmen to kill Shui. Shui manages to escape then but is injured. Tim who has been trying to find Shui saves the injured man. Shui refuses to go to the hospital because he wants to help Tim to save his father. Shui feels he owes Tim because he accidentally "kills" Nga Man. On their way to meet Lik, Shui dies from his injuries.

> 7. Are there anymore touching scenes in the show that
> can cry, eg. Ah Ling and Ah Keong scenes, etc?

My personal favourite scene at the end of the series is Ling & Keung's reunion at the airport. I love the goofy, desperate way Keung tries to convince Ling to return to him. And I love the way Ling's eyes betray her feelings as she struggles to refuse him and then finally gives in.

> 8. Finally, how is Ming Tai gonna be like at the end?

Frankly, I don't know. I think, but don't quote me, that by the end of the series Ming Tai's controlling shares belongs to Lik. Before his death he had already willed a portion of his estate to his family and a portion to Ling. I presume that Ming Tai is run by the next largest shareholder because Ling doesn't and can't run Ming Tai & neither can the rest of Lik's family. Also, I don't know what percentage of the shares they each get.

> Will Lisa buy back Ming Tai or Lik Tin will join with
> Ming Tai?

As far as I know, but again don't quote me on this, Ming Tai and Lik Tin remain separate entities. I don't think Lisa buys back Ming Tai because she is not interested in running a business. Also, all Yip How-li's sons are either dead or not interested in running Ming Tai. As for Tim & Keung, they have never been trully interested in Ming Tai, their main concern has always been Lik Tin.
