Honestly, Ariel's probing is quite skilled, and his acting isn't bad either.
Indeed, only those who can control their emotions are good actors!
It's just a pity that I too am well-versed in the self-cultivation of actors.
Tucking "Mercy" away, Fu Qian snorted.
Language, being inherently inefficient at conveying information, may include various interference, even if not deliberately deceptive: emotions, cognitive limitations, misinformation from others, and so on.
In Fu Qian's view, automatically analyzing and dissecting what he heard to filter valuable information and assess its credibility was a fundamental quality of a mission agent.
So even without knowing the full story behind Ariel, Fu Qian certainly wouldn't have taken his performance at face value.
There was more than one reason that could have led to such behavior on Ariel's part.
Not to mention that Fu Qian knew quite a bit about Ariel's background, well aware that everything he did served a "purpose."
