In that fatal accident, the male driver was killed on the spot, and the female passenger Hsu Ai-ting slipped into a coma when she was rushed to the hospital. In a panic, Chi took photos of the registration number of hit-and-run vehicle. However, the pictures were so blurry that they could not used as evidence, and therefore the facts of the accident were never established.
Since then Chi’s career in journalism has been flourishing, and now he runs the features desk in a newspaper. His persistent pursuit of truth and enthusiasm for his job win him a great reputation until a car accident, in which a politician is involved. As the first journalist who arrives on the scene, Chi rushes back to the office to write up the report, but nevertheless, his car crashes on the way. Subsequently, Chi sends his car to the garage for repair. After a thorough examination, the technician Ji, who is a good friend of Chi’s, tells him that his car is re-assembled vehicle. Surprised by the finding, Chi goes back to the second-hand car dealer, and since he fails to get a satisfying answer from the dealer, he asks help from a police officer, whom he has known for years. The information Chi receives from the police confirms that only the car was involved in a car accident but Chi himself was the witness to the incident. The memories of the car crash that happened nine years ago suddenly flash back to Chi.
Meanwhile, Chi‘s report on the car accident, in which the politician is involved, proves to be so wrong and damaging that the politician threatens to sue Chi and the paper. Consequently, Chi suffers a serious setback in his career, and that prompts him to shift his focus onto the hit-and-run that took place nine years ago. Using all his contacts in the police, Chi discovers that the survivor of the incident, Hsu Ai-ting, left the hospital unexpectedly and seems to have vanished into thin air. Chi decides that he has to track her down and finds out the truth of the accident. Since Chi has been a great investigative journalist, he starts from Hsu’s hometown and finally learns her whereabouts from a teashop owner. Driven by his guilt about not being able to help Hsu nine years ago, Chi is determined to make it up to her. Nonetheless, Chi is completely unaware that he has been watched and followed, and that mysterious man quietly abducts Hsu shortly after. Apparently, Chi is not the only witness to the car accident.
