Aaron is very satisfied with Yang Yi's ability to get things done but expresses dissatisfaction with Yang Yi's attitude.
Yang Yi pondered how to answer Aaron; it was a moment to make a stance, and this stance was very important.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Yi said softly, "I apologize, Sir, I am not alone. If my heart were entirely with the CIA, then my people would no longer be my own. I hope you can understand."
What Yang Yi implied was that although he had joined the CIA, he was not entirely owned by the CIA – he could help with things, but asking him to commit his own forces unconditionally in service to the CIA is impossible.
This stance was very frank, but Yang Yi believed Aaron would understand.
Aaron was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Alright, I have to understand your situation."
"Thank you, Sir."
