Tiger explains that, as Chinese, they should still be interested in the preservation of China's sanctuaries. To a question from the background how they should survive, he says there were enough jobs. As a response, he is being told they had risked their lifes for the antiques and they were going to be dead soon of they didn't sell.

After Dragon shot a hole in Cowboy's rooftop, only the Original Version contains an additional shot with the bandits. As a result, Tiger's leaving the bandits is being introducted entirely different.

One gets to see Tiger packing his bags. One of the guys says he should sell the art treasures first. Tiger says no, he wasn't interested in that kind of money. The guys agree resp. they explain the treaures belonged to the Chinese people and they didn't want to sell.
His right hand walks in in order to clarify a few things plus things were stolen from them. In fact, they find a box in Tiger's corner but he is obviously being framed. After a short discussion, a fight starts outside. Some of the guys support Tiger until the boss finally declares the fight over - if Tiger returns the rest of the allegedly stolen antiques. Subsequently, Tiger throws a spear that lands close to the boss's head. Then he makes a leap over the wall.

...and it is much longer resp. entirely different including an alternate eplanation for Tiger's disappearance: the boss's right hand only informs him that Tiger didn't steal anything when he (non-violently) escaped.
