Xie is about to say yes, mostly so he can yell at Tony for blaming Kevin when it wasn't his fault, but then-
You should have known he would pull something like this.
Xie is blaming himself, yes, and he probably wouldn't have even really had the heart to object if Tony had blamed him for being an idiot.
He would have still done it, sure, but it wouldn't have been as convincing.
But he's not blaming him for making a stupid, dangerous mistake. He's blaming him for... for planning this. Like Xie wanted this to happen.
He doesn't say anything.
He shouldn't be surprised. He's given them no reason to trust him, doesn't even want them to trust him, of course they're going to think he planned this.
