From Taking Charge of the Iron-Blooded Four Bureaus to Becoming a Hero in Turbulent Times

In the final years of the Great Yan Dynasty, the land was in turmoil. Warlords fought over the territory, foreign forces infiltrated step by step, corrupt officials ran rampant and gangs wreaked havoc in Jiangcheng, while wealthy merchants used their influence to oppress the people. Ordinary citizens struggled to survive amid the chaos. Lin Chen, from the modern era, unexpectedly transmigrated to this world and awakened the Chaotic Era Strong Army System. He was parachuted in as chief of Jiangcheng's Fourth Patrol Bureau, a position the various powers regarded as purely ceremonial. With no powerful backing or deep pockets, he acted decisively and showed no mercy. Using the System's lottery draws, he recruited officers, established investigative agencies, and built an intelligence and secret-service network, gradually assembling an armed force of his own. To deal with corrupt officials, he tore away the false civility of officialdom and turned the tables, sidelining his superiors. To deal with the criminal underworld, he used an iron fist to eradicate its illicit businesses, seizing huge sums of dirty money to build his strength. To deal with arrogant merchants, he broke the old rules governing vested interests, harvesting resources to expand his forces. When foreign powers tried to interfere in the city's public security and encroach on the country's rights, he stood his ground with weapons in hand and yielded not an inch. Starting from an overlooked local bureau, he seized control of police authority, investigative power, secret-service operations, and the barracks and troops of the regular army. He battled officials, crushed criminal gangs, and repelled foreign invaders. Using Jiangcheng as his base, he amassed wealth and built a strong army, clearing away the chaos and carving out a path to power amid the turmoil. In the end, he swept away the warring factions, brought the fighting to an end, and restored peace to the land for its people.
