You Were Supposed to Go Undercover and Fight Crime, So How Did You Become the Boss?

Lin Chen transmigrates to a parallel world.

He discovers that he has become an undercover police officer infiltrating a criminal organization.

By the usual plot, Lin Chen should earn the boss's trust, obtain evidence of the gang's crimes, and bring the criminals to justice.

But Lin Chen's situation is a disaster from the start.

The criminals suspect his identity and are preparing to take him out.

Facing imminent death, Lin Chen chooses an unconventional path as an undercover agent.

Who says an undercover agent has to win the boss's trust?

If I take out the criminals, I'll become the boss. I can still bring them to justice that way!

I, Lin Chen, get by in this world with five things:

Betraying my principles, selling out my brothers, working against my own side, framing others, and looking after my brothers' wives.

…

When Lin Chen completely crushes the massive criminal organization and arrests every last criminal, the police look at him strangely, sinking into deep self-doubt.

We told you to go undercover in a criminal organization, and you became the boss?

Lin Chen: I say I'm a good person. You should believe me, right?
