Plot Summary of Chi Lai: A Chinese Love Story
"It was the year, 2003 in Beijing China. Twenty eight year old Errol Jiu was hired by a wealthy politician to be the bodyguard for his nineteen year old daughter Chi Lai. Chi Lai quickly took an interest in the hamdsome Errol Jiu, and proceeded to seduce him. Errol eventually fell in love with her. He knew it was out of his character to have sex with his awfully young client, but her innocent personality intrigued him.

Their love affair rapidly grew, as they hid their affections from others, while they would secretly steal away. Soon, Chi Lai became pregnant, and conspired with Errol to keep this a secret, but, when her father found out about their love affair, and the pregnancy; he deeply disrespected Errol, and threatened to ruin him, if he didn't do the right thing and marry his daughter.

When Errol became Chi Lai's husband, he was faced with
his most challenging dilemma; a burglary and hostage
situation. Chi Lai's father restored his respect for Errol, when he cleverly conducted a plan to remove the burglars away from
his clients, for them to escape.
