"Cin!" A steady male voice cfrom inside.

Lorcan pressed the door handle and entered the office. The man sitting in the chair glanced up at Lorcan and then lowered his head 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 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 the laboratory 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 contemplation, Lorcan decided to cand seek clarification.

"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 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 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 chere. 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 sof 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 beer without any gains. What he had previously only speculated about could now be considered confirmed.

The reason Piaras released Catherine was not solely due to the influence of the Duncans. The main reason lay 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 planned to om investigate her privately and uncover her true background to understand what kind of person she was that warranted Piaras's protection.
