After Lu Yuan finished saying everything he wanted to say and gradually calmed down, Rhine began to speak.

"My lord, do you still remember Bill?"

"Bill, who's that?"

"It's Bill who pulled out a bomb to blow us up when we were about to escape this desolate planet, and then committed suicide."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, and then remembered that almost forgotten memory.

"You mean that bug? Oh, I remember now. Why are we suddenly talking about it?"

"The way Cohen committed suicide was very similar to that of Bill. I suspect they were in cahoots, and very likely from the same organization."

Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then gathered his thoughts for a while before speaking.

"You mean Cohen and those bugs that are hunting the Crown Prince are part of the same organization, and that's why he went so far as to bomb me to get revenge for helping the Crown Prince escape the desolate planet?"

Rhine thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I think Cohen might not be targeting you, the male master, this time. If he just wanted to deal with you, the insect, there are many ways. Unless the insect behind Cohen is a madman who has lost his mind, he probably wouldn't use such a big method."

"But if Cohen wasn't targeting me, then who was he targeting? The bomb was planted in my office."

"My lord, that's not just your office, it's also the foundation's office."

A look of confusion appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I later questioned the police officers who went to defuse the bomb, and they said that the area affected by the bomb after it was detonated would include all the floors where the Foundation was located. I suspect that Cohen was targeting the entire Foundation."

"The foundation? What is he doing targeting the foundation? The foundation hasn't done anything for the Crown Prince."

At this point, Rhein could only shake his head again.

"I don't know either. I can only guess that Cohen is probably targeting the Foundation, but as for the reason, we'll have to wait for the investigation results. My lord, it's almost dawn. You've been up all night. Go get some sleep."

"Okay, let's go get some sleep first. You haven't rested at all either."

Lu Yuan pulled Rhine along to take a combat shower, and then they went to bed.

Knowing that it wasn't his fault that Cohen went mad and launched indiscriminate attacks with bombs, Lu Yuan felt much relieved and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Afterwards, Rhine asked Lu Yuan to take a week off to rest at home for a while, and he also took leave at the same time to stay at home with Lu Yuan.

Rhine had intended to take Lu Yuan on a trip to a nearby planet during this time, hoping to help Lu Yuan forget the memory of being killed by the insect as soon as possible.

However, Rhine then thought that Cohen had another organization behind him. What if this organization saw that Cohen had failed and sent out the insects to cause trouble again?

Thinking that home was safer, Rhein stayed home with Lu Yuan for the rest of the week.

The warm family atmosphere gradually helped Lu Yuan forget the unease and fear that Cohen's assassination attempt had brought him.

Seeing that Lu Yuan gradually returned to normal and stopped worrying about Cohen's assassination attempt, Rhine also gradually felt relieved.

However, while accompanying Lu Yuan, Rhine did not forget the main task: to find out the organization behind Cohen.

The police department has quickly transferred Cohen's case to the Xiongbao Association.

The day after the Xiongbao Association contacted Rhine, Rhine had his subordinates deliver Cohen's body to the Xiongbao Association. Since he hadn't found any clues on Cohen's body, he wanted to see if the Xiongbao Association could make any discoveries.

Unfortunately, the Xiongan New Area Development Committee was unable to find any useful information.

The investigation by the Xiongbao Association revealed that Cohen grew up in an orphanage on the capital planet. Eleven years ago, due to the orphanage's poor financial situation, Cohen applied for a job as a miner on a remote planet owned by the company.

During his time working as a miner, Cohen regularly sent money back to the orphanage.

Cohen stopped sending money to the orphanage and ceased all contact with it when he reached adulthood and the normal age to leave.

A year ago, Cohen's employment contract with the company expired, and he left the company. After that, he came to the capital planet, and everything that happened after he arrived there was the same as what Rhine had previously investigated.

The Xiongbao Association also investigated the company where Cohen used to work.

That company was a legitimate company with all the necessary licenses and permits. During Cohen's time working there, all the documents were complete and there were no irregularities.

According to the records, Cohen left the company because he wanted to explore the capital planet, which aligns with his later actions.

As for Cohen, an ordinary insect with no military experience, why would he be able to produce a bomb?

The investigation revealed that Cohen made the bomb himself, and that knowledge about bomb making was taught at the mine.

Based on the investigation results, there is only one reason why Cohen would assassinate Lu Yuan: love turned to hate. He couldn't accept Lu Yuan's rejection, which drove him to madness and caused him to do such a thing.

Considering that Lu Yuan was completely uninjured and Cohen had already committed suicide, the Xiongbao Association closed the case directly.

Neither Lu Yuan nor Rhein raised any objections. The two insects knew that Xiong Bao was unreliable and would not expend too much effort on D-level male insects, so Rhein decided to investigate on his own.

Of course, Rheinland did not forget to strengthen the protection of Lu Yuan.

The fact that Lu Yuan will be alright this time is largely thanks to the protective cover on the locator.

However, considering that the enemy had actually used bombs this time, Rhine immediately felt that the current protective shield was still not strong enough.

So Rhein found some time and went to the military research institute with the locator.

......

Inside a laboratory, a female insect wearing a white lab coat is conducting an experiment.

Feynman.

Rhine went in and greeted them.

"Rhine, what brings you here? You never come here unless you need something. What do you need my help with this time?" Feynman said with a smile.

Feynman and Rhein were classmates at military academy, had known each other for many years, and had a good relationship, so Feynman and Rhein spoke to each other quite casually.

Rhein gave the locator to Feynman.

"Could you upgrade the protective shield inside this locator for me?"

"You want to upgrade it again? This protective shield is already the highest level for civilian use. What other level of upgrade do you want?"

"Ideally, it should be upgraded to be able to stop missiles."

???

Feynman looked at Rhine with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic, his eyes seeming to say, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Although Feynman thought Rhein was being completely unreasonable, Rhein still insisted that Feynman upgrade the locator.

Finally, unable to persuade Rhein, Feynman had no choice but to agree to help. Of course, blocking missiles was out of the question, but blocking bombs was something he could try.
