After which, Heilong catches up with their truck and kills Ah Song and the rest. He confesses to Shitou that he likes Yazi, and suggests that if only Shitou dies, the helpless Yazi can rely on Heilong for her living. Shitou tries to escape in the truck, but unfortunately Heilong shoots one of the tyres, and his truck rams into the lake, sinks to the bottom...
