No. No one actually wanted to trap the hero.
The general/big boss fellow who made this order wanted to destroy the spy agency for unknown reasons by making them look like shit. No evidence was in the house.
The spies will plant evidence in the house and accuse the white guy. They set up the MC on the spot to show how powerful and necessary spies are since he looks down on it so much. It'll vex him that honour would have killed him while cowardly manipulation would save him.
These spies actually give of Monster vibes for me. That's probably why I'm watching.
