The Magic Touch
6.3
Hui Wai Tak tells people's fortunes by feeling their bones. In reality though, he is a scam artist who gathers information on his clients in advance and uses it to milk them for money. When the wife of Commissioner David Ho of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) comes to see him, he reveals that her husband is cheating on her. After facing the wrath of his wife, Ho decides to get revenge and sends junior assessor Yau Ho Kay to investigate Hui's income. During the investigation, Hui sustains a brain injury and slips into a coma. After he wakes up, he suddenly discovers that he has gained the real ability to see people's futures.
