There's no way to say too much—after all, under the watchful eyes of others, even if you're not afraid of being overheard, one slip in actions or expressions could raise suspicion. So, although Scott desperately wanted to convey more information to Gao Guang, he could only pick the most critical points and leave it at that.
The CIA used to be Gao Guang's foundation. Now, with a change in the CIA's director, the agency swiftly shifted gears to target Gao Guang—at least on the surface. This was entirely expected, something bound to happen.
But how many people within the CIA are still secretly supporting Gao Guang? That's hard to say.
Gao Guang now needs to know how many people in CIA will stand by him after losing Tom's direct assistance.
Scott is an excellent example.
The CIA knows Scott has had contact with Gao Guang, but no one knows that Scott and Gao Guang share an extraordinarily deep connection worth billions of US dollars.
