In Hong Kong, he helped Hsin, a painter, by convincing him that his paintings will sell if he pretends to be dead. Both Wu and Hsin teamed up and engaged in con games, gambling and sex, but the ring enforcers caught up to them. After Wu falls in love with Hsiao Yen, he wanted to turn his life around.[5]
