Exposure is never a good thing at any time.
Ben specifically named Gao Yi, even bringing troops to block him, which at least indicates two things.
One is that Gao Yi has been exposed, needless to say, and the other problem is that Ben has precisely grasped his whereabouts and is looking for him specifically.
Where did the problem arise, who leaked the information?
Gao Yi had to start worrying about his own safety because it was evident that apart from the Americans, no other means could have led to the leak.
And Kanter, too, is genuinely starting to get nervous. Few know the name Gardener, and the leaker is very likely someone close to him.
Someone got off the plane; it's Nevan, the head of the CIA on Ben's side.
Nevan was originally waiting on the plane. As long as the person boarded the plane, he would be responsible, but now the person can't get on the plane, and the impatient Nevan had to get off to investigate.
