perhaps that is why Shen Wei's refusal to speak is getting under his skin so much, because this, the Zhu Hong situation, is the kind of circumstances where he could understand such behaviour
Zhao Yunlan does think he is being rejected by Shen Wei in this scene, doesn't he? As you said above, it never occurs to him that there might be reasons for Shen Wei to be this stubborn. Though to be fair, Shen Wei is giving him nothing – something along the lines of “I can’t tell you everything right now but I will someday” would go a long way…
I'm not sure what that means, would you mind explaining?
Oh sure, sorry. I meant it as a reference to the main character Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, which is a game all about stealth and sneakiness. Metal Gear is the origin of a meme where the player stays undetected by hiding in a box . So I essentially just meant a power to stay undetected in plain sight XD
But then he's never hesitated to let them see other ways in which he's not a normal Haixing professor (see: the interrogation room scene!), so perhaps to him this is just an extension of that. Maybe it doesn't matter so long as there's still (im)plausible deniablitiy, and it could also be gesture for Zhao Yunlan's sake, trying to make it clear that he's not actually trying to deceive him, only to leave some things unspoken?
It’s true that Shen Wei has never been very careful around the SID. But I really like this idea that it’s a concession to Zhao Yunlan specifically♥. Sort of extending an olive branch?
Although I don’t know how Shen Wei will sleep at night after giving his fellow scientist bad data on purpose XD
