Lu Yuan disembarked from the aircraft and walked towards the foundation's office building.

There wasn't a single insect in the office building at that moment; only a few robotic insects were patrolling the building according to their pre-programmed routines.

Lu Yuan got on the elevator. The elevator was empty and quiet at night, and the silhouette of Lu Yuan, like an insect, was reflected around the car.

With a ding, the elevator quickly stopped on the thirty-eighth floor.

Lu Yuan stepped off the elevator and into a dark corridor. After walking a few steps, he discovered that the lights in the large office where his department was located were on.

Lu Yuan found it strange; who would be working overtime so late? He hadn't noticed that Juan Wang was in his department.

Unable to guess who it was, Lu Yuan simply shouted it out.

Who is it?

But there was no response from the office.

Now that Lu Yuan was around, it was even stranger. I quickened my pace, wanting to see who was still at the company so late.

Lu Yuan wasn't worried about thieves or anything like that, because the machine bugs wouldn't let unfamiliar bugs in at night; only bugs that had registered in the office building were allowed in.

Lu Yuan walked into the office and found that there was indeed an insect, and it was an unexpected one at that.

"Cohen, what are you doing here?" Lu Yuan asked in confusion.

At this moment, Cohen stood expressionless beside a desk.

"I had arranged to have dinner with Will, but he got drunk and asked me to come to his office to get something for him."

Cohen's cold response and attitude toward Lu Yuan were completely different from before.

Lu Yuan then realized that Cohen was standing right next to Will's desk. He recalled that Cohen and Will had a pretty good relationship when Cohen was still in this building, so asking him to have a meal and helping him carry something was perfectly normal.

"Oh, I see. By the way, how have you been lately?" Lu Yuan said in a friendly greeting.

"fine."

Cohen's attitude clearly indicated that he didn't want to talk to Lu Yuan any further.

Lu Yuan understands Cohen's drastically different attitudes before and after.

After all, not everyone is a mindless simp who, no matter how many times they are rejected, will still treat you like their first love, even if you mistreat them a thousand times.

Since Cohen didn't want to talk to him anymore, he should just leave.

"That's good. I left something in the office. I'll grab it and go. You should go home early too, it's getting late," Lu Yuan said.

Cohen nodded without saying anything.

Lu Yuan didn't pay any attention and went straight into his small office after speaking.

Opening the drawer, I saw five lapel pins lying inside. One of them was similar to the one Lu Yuan was wearing, except for a slight difference in the pattern. You couldn't tell the difference unless you looked closely.

Lu Yuan took out the lapel pin, pressed it, and it reacted instantly, turning into a royal blue communicator.

Lu Yuan got the communicator and prepared to leave.

He closed the door to the small office, said goodbye to Cohen who was still standing there, and headed towards the elevator.

Just as he was about to step out of the large office, Lu Yuan suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye a hexagonal black object that had appeared on one side of the wall near the ground.

Lu Yuan recalled that when he left work, the wall was smooth and there was nothing on it.

"Cohen, what is this?" Lu Yuan asked, pointing at the black object.

"I don't know, I didn't notice," Cohen replied.

Lu Yuan squatted down and looked at it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. He thought about it and decided to give up and ask his colleagues in the department tomorrow.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to stand up, the protective cover on the locator suddenly activated automatically.

Lu Yuan was completely enveloped in a light blue protective shield, and ripples spread across the shield on his back, a sign that the attack had been blocked.

Before Lu Yuan could figure out what was going on, he turned around and saw Cohen still standing in the same spot, but now he had a laser gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the laser gun was pointed directly at Lu Yuan.

"A protective shield. I didn't expect your queen to value you so much," Cohen said coldly.

Lu Yuan's mind was still a bit sluggish.

"you......"

Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Cohen vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Lu Yuan the next second.

Cohen took a dagger and stabbed it fiercely at Lu Yuan's head, but the dagger was blocked by the protective shield again. Cohen used all his strength but failed to pierce the shield.

Upon seeing this, Cohen's expression changed.

"How is that possible? They actually gave you the highest level of protective shield."

Seeing that he couldn't break through the protective shield, Cohen stopped trying and quickly fled towards the window.

At that moment, Lu Yuan's communicator began to vibrate violently.

......

Rhein had been leaning back in the driver's seat with his eyes closed, waiting for Lu Yuan to return.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded on Rhine's communicator. He abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

His communicator was connected to Lu Yuan's locator, and an alarm sounded, indicating that the protective shield on Lu Yuan's locator had been activated.

Rhine quickly dialed Lu Yuan's number. The call was answered quickly, and before he could speak, Lu Yuan's voice, still trembling slightly, came through.

"Rhine, Cohen wants to kill me. I'm not hurt, but he's preparing to escape through the window."

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Rhine quickly got off the aircraft and stood below the office building, looking towards the thirty-eighth floor.

The A-grade female insect's excellent eyesight allowed him to clearly see that Cohen was standing on the windowsill, preparing to escape.

Rhine's face was filled with anger, and for a moment his eyes even turned into compound eyes.

Rhine spread its wings and flew towards the window on the 38th floor in a flash.

Noticing Rhine's arrival, Cohen had no intention of fighting him. He quickly spread his wings and flew away into the distance.

Although Rhine flew much faster than Cohen, Cohen gained the upper hand, and by the time Rhine reached the window, Cohen was already far away.

Rhein glanced in the direction Cohen had flown off to, then immediately climbed through the window into the office. There he saw Lu Yuan still standing inside, the protective shield still dutifully protecting him.

Although a few traces of fear, unease, and bewilderment still lingered on Lu Yuan's face, he had largely calmed down.

"My lord, are you alright?" Rhine rushed over and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm not hurt."

At this point, Rhein naturally wanted to stay by Lu Yuan's side, but Cohen couldn't be left unattended.

After struggling internally for a moment, Rhine gritted his teeth and said it.

"My lord, can you manage with just an insect like you? I want to go and bring Cohen back right away."

"Don't worry about me. With the protective shield, I'll be fine. You go and catch Cohen first."

"Alright, Lord, while the protective shield is still up, run to the nearest police station immediately. I've already sent the location to your communicator."

"I see."
