Thoughts:
This was quite interesting that you were guessing who the mastermind behind the kidnapping was. In the end everyone had a role in it or at least played some part of it. In the end it all tied back somehow. As Vincent said in the end that everyone faced it differently. He and Cathy tried to control it and when it didn't work it exploded. KK decided to conceal his deed. Max tried to avoid it by doing dangerous stunts. Lam Ho-yan try to not admit any wrong doing and try to change it The brother try hid the facts. Overall the pieces of the puzzle come together. Everyone somehow is involved.
