The other anchor couple, Wee Lum Thiam (Li Nanxing) and Ng Tze Keat (Rui En) will welcome a new member to their family, Matthew Wee, but that doesn't mean Tze Keat will sit out of all the crime-busting action as the pair will continue to head their respective teams in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

Development
The series was first announced to be under planning in 2016.[1] Prior to the announcement, Elvin Ng mentioned that he will return for the fourth installment after he is done with the filming of If Only I Could,[2] and Li Nanxing also mentioned that he will return for the series. In the House of Fortune press conference in January 2016, it was also announced that Ya Hui will be playing a cop in the series.[3] On 23 February 2016, Li and Ng, together with the latest additions Zhang Yaodong, Ya Hui, and Mei Xin attended a weapon training session at the Home Team Academy to prepare for the series; Rui En was absent as she was unwell.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Imaging sessions were done in March, where Ng revealed a collaboration with Rui En in a L'Oréal commercial.[10][11]
Bonnie Loo, who plays Yang Zhongzheng's daughter Hongxi, and ex-infotainment host Liu Kaixin hosted the lensing ceremony, held on 24 March 2016.[12][13][14][15][16] Some of the cast members revealed that they diligently went to great lengths to prepare themselves for their roles by picking up a sport, or resuming their exercise regimes. They also talked about their brush with the law. It was also revealed that Yang Zhongzheng (Terence Cao) will die in the series and his funeral is filmed at Mount Vernon on 29 April.[17][18]
On 12 April 2016, Rui En was reportedly involved in a Clementi car park accident, and this made waves all over the internet the next day. Responding in an official statement on 14 April 2016 through her manager from Hype Records, she clarified the context of the conversation, and made an apology.
Responding to media queries, executive producer Chong Liung Man said that they have no intention of replacing her or her character in the drama. Rui En showed up for work as usual on that day, but he gave her a day off as he was worried that she might not be in the most ideal state for shooting.[24][25]
Potential sequel
Chong Liung Man shared that doing a sequel was "something the team strived towards to during C.L.I.F. 3". In a separate interview, he said, "When I was filming part 3, I told them the mission is to have a part 4. Now that it has succeeded, we’d have to wait for a few more years before knowing if part 5 will happen." He added that the drama's aim is to develop the characters and their back stories to make them more relatable and touching.
Chong also expressed interest in doing a Singapore Army drama, if given the opportunity to shoot a similar drama about a different uniform group in Singapore, adding that "it has been a long time since we last did a proper drama about the army in MediaCorp."[10][11]
