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 ofthe 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 glanced up at Lorcan and then lowered hishead to continue working on the task at hand.
“Coming back so late, do you need something from me?” The man before Lorcan, Piaras Fitzpatrick, was not only the highestauthority in the procuratorate but also Lorcan’s uncle. Without their familial connection, it wouldn’t have been easy for Lorcan tosee him without their familial connection, given his current position.
Today, Lorcan had received a task to investigate the leaked data from the laboratory at Styre University. However, he ended upreceiving a call from his uncle. Piaras, with his higher- ranking status, ordered him to release Catherine. This left Lorcan greatlypuzzled, and after much contemplation, Lorcan decided to come and seek clarification.
“Why do we have to release Catherine? Who exactly is she?” Lorcan asked with a tone of deep skepticism, clearly not believingPiaras'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 explanation 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 manwho could even take action against his own son if his son made a mistake. So how could he possibly let go of a suspectedleaker 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. Lorcanwas 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, youdon’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 withthe 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 bequestioned.novelbin
Lorcan was taken aback. Realizing his rashness, he chose to apologize obediently, “I’m sorry. | 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 theleaker. Just keep that in mind and do your job.”
After leaving Piaras’s office, Lorcan’sinner turmoil remained unsettle
