Chapter 683 Piaras’s Protection
Late at night, Lorcan returned to the procuratorate building once again. After much hesitation, he finally
knocked on the door of the office.
“Come in!” A steady male voice came from inside.

Lorcan pressed the door handle and entered the office. The man sitting in the chair nced up at
Lorcan and then lowered his head to continue working on the task at hand.
“Coming back sote, do you need something from me?” The man before Lorcan, Piaras Fitzpatrick,
was not only the highest authority in the procuratorate but also Lorcan’s uncle. Without their familial
connection, it wouldn’t have been easy for Lorcan to see him without their familial connection, given his
current position.
Today, Lorcan had received a task to investigate the leaked data from theboratory at Styre
University. However, he ended up receiving a call from his uncle. Piaras, with his higher- ranking
status, ordered him to release Catherine. This left Lorcan greatly puzzled, and after much
contemtion, Lorcan decided toe and seek rification.
“Why do we have to release Catherine? Who exactly is she?” Lorcan asked with a tone of deep
skepticism, clearly not believing Piaras’s statement.
Without lifting his head, Piaras calmly responded, “Who else could she be? Branden personally went to
pick her up, so naturally, she’s his woman.”
“Is it just because of Branden?” Lorcan’s voice was filled with doubt, indicating that he didn’t believe
Piaras’s exnation at all. He knew better than anyone that Piaras’s current position was earned
through genuine capabilities.
Piaras was known for his integrity, and regardless of who it was, he didn’t let anyone off lightly for their
mistakes. He was a man who could even take action against his own son if his son made a mistake. So
how could he possibly let go of a suspected leaker just because of power and authority?
Lorcan didn’t believe it, and that was why he came here. After a long silence, he was still waiting for an
answer.
Piaras finished reviewing the documents, set aside his work and then looked up to gaze at his most
cherished nephew. Lorcan was very clever and shared some of his traits. His affection for Lorcan even
surpassed that for his son.
“Just remember one thing. Put in the effort to do what you need to, and find the real culprit behind the
leak. As for Catherine, you don’t need to investigate her!”
Upon hearing this, Lorcan was somewhat angry. He couldn’t understand it at all. He loudly questioned,
“Why? The person with the most suspicion right now is Catherine. Why can’t we investigate her?”
Piaras’s eyes darkened instantly, and he stared at Lorcan with a serious expression. “It seems that
you’ve been here for too long, and you’ve forgotten the most basic principles of the procuratorate. Is
this something you should be asking?”
Absolute obedience was the most fundamental rule of the procuratorate. Things that shouldn’t be
asked should absolutely not be questioned.
Lorcan was taken aback. Realizing his rashness, he chose to apologize obediently, “I’m sorry. I
overstepped.”
Piaras, with a stern face, waved him off. “Go back.”
Lorcan slowly retreated. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Piaras’s parting words from behind.
“Catherine cannot be the leaker. Just keep that in mind and do your job.”
After leaving Piaras’s office, Lorcan’s inner turmoil remained unsettled. This trip hadn’t been without
any gains. What he had previously only spected about could now be considered confirmed.
The reason Piaras released Catherine was not solely due to the influence of the Duncans. The main
reasony with Catherine. He couldn’t fathom Catherine’s true identity, but if Piaras was so certain she
wasn’t the leaker, there had to be a reason.
Lorcan was now even more intrigued by Catherine. He nned to investigate her privately and uncover
her true background to understand what kind of person she was that warranted Piaras’s protection.
