Surprisingly, after the door opens, she sees that TING-MING is all covered in blood, and they vow to never leave each other. At night, SUN-FUNG and TING-MING hold a campfire gathering, without knowing that SHEUNG-CHING carries a gun and comes to kill TING-MING.

However, SUN-FUNG locks TING-MING in the room, trying to fend off SHEUNG-CHING all by herself.… ...
While on patrol duty, EU sergeant Ling Sun-fung and her team are called to assist a criminal chase. A gun battle erupts and Sun-fung loses her father, who dies from a stray bullet to the head. Sun-fung continues the pursuit, but a strange natural phenomenon suddenly turns her away, taking her back to April 1—three days prior to the incident. Realizing that she has travelled back in time, she uses this opportunity to save her father's life. Village chief "Ditch", an informant for the ICAC, discovers Sun-fung's special ability and teams up with her to investigate a corrupted cop.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title 'Over Run Over' is a pun in Cantonese — it sounds like 'save' and also implies being overwhelmed, mirroring Ling's impossible task.
This 2016 TVB drama predated the global 'time loop' boom (Russian Doll, Palm Springs) but remains criminally underseen outside Hong Kong.
