I mean, obviously there are always multiple plausible explanations. I was just explaining how I arrived at mine.
I agree that ZYL was never actually on good terms with his father, but it would make sense to me that he'd held back on active hostilities while trying to be promoted into his father's former position, and that Zhao Xinci might have interpreted that as "the boy's finally starting to shape up". And I don't think Zhao Xinci considers the SID a minor agency, even if in practice it was at that time.
And if his father told him he'd have to smarten up for the role, I can easily imagine him deliberately doing the opposite.
LOL, yeah, that would do it no matter when it happened. Could easily have been after ZYL becase SID chief, too!
