Aside from Rory’s love life, his family and background will also be mysterious. Speculation is that Rory is related to Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) and Selina Wu (Lydia Look). Since Selina is part of a mob, her profession will spell trouble for Rory. While the cop does everything by the book, he may break the law to help his family.
