The only thing holding them back was Ah Quan’s repentance. Who Arranged Prison Break?įor people who have been imprisoned for a decade, it is understandable that they want to get out of there and have been planning to do so for quite a while.

He informs the cops, which he was asked not to do, and ultimately, it results in the death of Wang and leaves his son traumatised for the rest of his life. He realises that he doesn’t have to pay for someone else’s boy. Everything would have gone smoothly had Lin’s greed not resurfaced. Wan wants Lin to deliver the money, but Wang goes instead of him. Afraid of the bad PR which would follow if someone got the whiff that he refused to help his employee, Lin decides to go forward with it.

Wang begs Lin to give the ransom money so he can get back his son.

It is Wang Qing-Nian’s son, and the man realises that if Wan comes to know about the truth, he will kill the boy. However, his plan backfires when mistakenly, they kidnap his driver’s son. He plans to kidnap Lin’s only son and extort money in his stead. But, with the police chasing them around and Simosa’s increasing wealth, Wan decided that it was time for him to get a better share of the earning. In a similar manner, he had been associated with the government, becoming an essential part of it, which is what kept him away from the legal consequences of all the shady business he had been conducting with the Triad. He would pay them to not only get some difficult jobs done but also to keep himself safe from their threats. The owner of Simosa, one of the biggest corporations in the country, Chairman Lin had been in cohorts with the Triad. The framing of the four men for kidnapping and murder just happens to be the final nail in the coffin of Wan’s rival gang, but that is not the only purpose that this act serves. They think that by giving up another, they’ll be able to save themselves, which is what Wan plans to do with Qiu’s gang.

In order to put a stop to the prevalent crime in the city, the police start attacking the gangs, which leads them to turn against each other. Being the members of the Chong He triad, they find themselves in a precarious position when their gang begins to dismantle. It is then that Ah Quan, Ah Gui, Xiao Sha and Fu Xing unwittingly become the part of something that has nothing to do with them, and yet, by the end of it, they are the ones who pay dearly for it. Everything that happens at the end of ‘Nowhere Man’ is a consequence of the night of the kidnapping.
