Lu Shaotang tells Shin and Sakamoto that she’s the daughter of the mafia chief. The group wanted to get the key from her. Shin persuades Lu Shaotang to give up the key for keeping her life. But she rejects it because her parents tried their best to protect the key before they passed away. The key also can open the family treasure house.

The twin assassins don’t realize the seriousness of the case. They promise to keep the three’s bodies if Lu Shaotang gives the key to them. Lu Shaotang rejects it because the gold bank is stored the effort of her family. Son Hee mocks her. He reveals his parents said same words before they died. He doesn’t expect that there’s a person cherishing item more than life. He thinks the girl cannot be saved.
Lu Shaotang is furious to rush to Son Hee. But Sakamoto stops the girl. Son Hee doesn’t give Lu Shaotang the chance to react. He casts the dart to her. Sakamoto blocks the dart with his hand. Son Hee wonders why the fat guy wants to stop them.
But Sakamoto thinks the important thing should be defined by him. Lu Shaotang sees the bleeding in his fingers. She doesn’t understand why he did so for saving her.
We go to five years ago. Sakamoto buys his wife Aoi a present after he completed a task. But Aoi gets angry after she saw the blood on his body. She claims that she doesn’t wish to get the present with blood. He reminds her that he cannot give her better life if he doesn’t work.
