Red Flag Ex-TPE

hi guru, this is my situtation.

My wife works in Taiwan, while I hold the hkid with the taiwanentry permit for up to 3months per stay.

i have been using awards ticket to redeem the hkg-tpe-Hkg (one year). while I buy tpe-hkg-tpe to return to hong Kong and use the last sector as my next trip, I always have a "return" ticket (from my redemption) to fullfil the immigration requirements.

I do weekly or bi-weekly commute, most of the time didn't go through the check in counter. However tonight I just got red flag at gate (it wasnt a very full flight, so it wont be op-up) the agent check my passport again, and they insist to see my local document, while I told them I have the rights to stay in Taiwan and extended as long as I need. They let me go, but then another ground staff came to my seat and asked about the return ticket, I told her I have an return ticket on a seperate itinerary but didn't have a print out with me. The ground staff left and came back to me 5mins later to give me so small talks on deportation and I will be responsible for any extra cost if I get into troubles, I agreed and they close the cabin door.

Well I'm typing this at my home in Taipei, and I want to make sure I'm not doing anything illegal and I do want to travel on Cx again when I go back to Hong Kong sometime in september 2013.

Please share your experiences. Cheers!
