So on the night Uncle Fried Chicken committed the crime, his wife was working as a waiter at the hero's house. Uncle Fried Chicken didn't find Mrs. Fried Chicken among the people who escaped, so he immediately decided to go back to look for her. He happened to meet Uncle Smart, and had no choice but to accompany him back.
After searching for a while, Uncle Fried Chicken found Mrs. Fried Chicken. She was trapped in a room. There was an iron door on the side where Uncle Fried Chicken was, blocking her from entering. Uncle Ji Ling happened to rush to the other end of the room, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Uncle Ji Ling ignored Uncle Fried Chicken's pleading and turned around and left. In this way, Uncle Fried Chicken saw Mrs. Fried Chicken dying in the sea of flames.
Immediately after the case was exposed, Uncle Fried Chicken was imprisoned. The family of three was separated from each other, and his life was ruined.

It seemed that his relationship with his girlfriend was not simple. This made Brother Pork a little panicked. If he waited for another half year, he might lose both his life and money, so he agreed to escape from prison with Uncle Fried Chicken.

With the help of various inquiries and his daughter, Uncle Fried Chicken learned that Uncle Ji Ling was currently storing 7 billion US dollars of bonds for the three giants, so the point of revenge began with this 7 billion.
Not only can Uncle Ji Ling go bankrupt because of the huge amount, but the key point is that these three giants are all people who cannot be offended. If they lose their money, Uncle Ji Ling will not be able to survive. One of the legends of the Three Big Three is related to the leaders of the Northern Dynasties, one is related to the former extremist organization in Germany, and the other is best friends with the Queen of England. To put it bluntly, their money is not easy to come by, but they all have extremely powerful forces behind them.
Uncle Smart was also cautious about this, for fear of something going wrong. He also knew that he could not afford to offend the Big Three.
It turns out that with the proceeds from committing crimes with Uncle Fried Chicken in his early years, Uncle Smart changed his identity and established a security company to hide money for Wall Street rich people. Because of his clean life and good reputation, the Big Three also found him.

After setting the goal, he started to implement it step by step. The first thing he needed was manpower. First, he thought of the smart pork brother. Later, under the introduction of Brother Pork, he found Brother Pork's ex-girlfriend Bang Bang.
At this time, Sister Bang had already gotten together with Brother No-Brain, and Brother Pork had become his real ex. Although the meeting was awkward, she couldn't care less about it when faced with the temptation of 7 billion US dollars.
On the other side, Uncle Fried Chicken found his friend Sister Machine Gun and his subordinate Brother Driving. Everything was ready except for Dongfeng, but now he was short of start-up capital. After all,
needs to buy equipment and a car. According to a rough calculation, it will cost at least 300,000 U.S. dollars, and 300,000 U.S. dollars will earn 7 billion. This account is easy to calculate.
After several discussions, they decided to rob to rob, and their target was the diamond market. During the process, Brother Wu Nao was injured in one of his hands because of Wu Nao. Fortunately, things went smoothly, and the jewelry he snatched was successfully sold for US$400,000.

A group of people started to implement the robbery plan on a thunderstorm night. The process was almost without any danger. When they saw the bond was obtained, what was unexpected was that the fried chicken girl changed the contract halfway, exchanged the bond at random, and then escaped.
On this side, the brainless brother cleverly came online and wanted to monopolize the bonds. He led the explosive sister to kill the driving brother. When he wanted to continue killing the pork brother, the explosive sister realized her conscience and turned to deal with the brainless brother. The brainless brother was strangled and the explosive sister and the pork brother ran away.
Miss Machine Gun saw no one else when she came out, so she drove away in a car pulling bonds. Uncle Fried Chicken also escaped smoothly. A group of people gathered towards the pre-arranged place, but what they didn't expect was that the bonds in the car had already been transferred.
On the other side, Brother Smart also discovered that the vault had been robbed, and hurriedly took people to check. At this time, he did not panic. He was still deceiving the FBI that he had transferred the bonds himself, so there was no need to panic!
But when he opened his special vault, he was surprised. There were many criminal items hidden in it, so Uncle Smart threw himself into the trap. (Uncle Fried Chicken Framed)
Eight,
After the group of people gathered together, they found that the bond had disappeared long ago, so they began to doubt each other. At this time, Brother Smart's men arrived, and everyone united and began to keep the outside world. After solving the killer, the group of people chose to escape.
Brother Wu Nao was not dead at the time. After recovering, he was unwilling to accept it. He found Uncle Ji Ling in prison, told all the truth, and hoped that Uncle Ji Ling could help him get revenge.
With the help of Uncle Smart, Brother Wu brained around to inquire about Uncle Fried Chicken and his group, and found Sister Machine Gun first. Uncle Fried Chicken's Parkinson's disease was getting worse at this time, and it was difficult to walk. Seeing Sister Machine Gun in danger, he still showed up resolutely, and told the whereabouts of Brother Pork and Sister Explosion.
The brainless brother was so blinded by hatred that he didn't even notice that he had been targeted by the FBI. As a result, he died in the confrontation with the police. At this time, Sister Bang and Brother Pork also witnessed all this, and they were lucky enough to escape.
On the other side, Sister Machine Gun died in a fight with Brother No-Brain. Uncle Fried Chicken tried his best to kill the opponent. He has learned that the mastermind behind all this is Uncle Smart.
He first contacted Fried Chicken Girl and found out that she was in a safe place and had successfully given birth to the child. At this time, Uncle Fried Chicken became a grandfather, and he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He no longer cared about it, so he prepared to face Uncle Smart to solve everything.
Nine,
Uncle Fried Chicken visited Uncle Smart in prison and told him that the bond had been taken away by his daughter, and she had never forgotten his failure to save him. Uncle Smart also fully understood at this time that this was an old friend's revenge against him, and the two of them destroyed each other's lives.
Uncle Fried Chicken, who came out of prison, pulled his luggage and walked aimlessly on the road. Little did he know that someone was staring at him behind him. After a gunshot, the whole play ended.
As for who killed Uncle Fried Chicken, some say it was Uncle Smart, others said it was the Big Three. I’m afraid Fried Chicken Girl’s ending will not be good either. As the saying goes, if it’s not yours, it’s not yours after all. To get rich, you have to be down-to-earth.
The most gratifying thing about the show is that it tells the story over and over again in one season, saving the audience from having to worry about the story being a bit cliche, but it also strives to tell the story in a wonderful way. But I have to say that the editing of web dramas now follows the same approach, that is, the messier the better. The timeline goes back and forth, leaving the audience confused.
Take this drama as an example. The recommended viewing order is: 5, 2, 1, 3, 8, 4, 6, 7, so that you can feel the completeness of the story. The showrunners put the ending in episode 7, the robbery in episode 8, and the fourth episode is the straight line about the FBI policewoman, which you can skip without watching.
is generally a good and enjoyable drama. Nowadays, the shortcomings of streaming media platforms are becoming more and more obvious, which is to rely on gimmicks and fancy editing to make things mysterious. One day the audience will be bored. If you want to go far, you must rely on a good story after all, and you must not overshadow the show!
