As their eyes met, it was evident that neither could persuade the other.

"Alright, but you won't expose my lie when you talk to Qiao Ze, will you?"
Roth Dugan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe, and I even want to remind you that Qiao's personality is different from most people. What you think is important might be insignificant to him. I hope you can keep your emotions in check when communicating with him, and it would be best to start with an academic discussion."
Those were sincere words.
