After saying their goodbyes once more, everyone went downstairs together to see them off, watching as the Deputy Director of Administration, the Defense Director, and the Chairman of the Coordination Committee got into their own cars, departing slowly under the protection of escort vehicles.
Watching the Chairman's car, the last to leave, drive out of the laboratory gate, Ye Nai sighed with relief. When she turned her head, she noticed something was off about the number of people present.
Two new security teams stood at the bottom of the steps, comprising both men and women, with the male team having more members and the female team fewer.
They weren't unfamiliar faces; they'd been present from the start of the meeting, but Ye Nai had assumed they came with the officials and didn't pay much attention.
At this point, the Academicians realized it as well.
"Huh, how come there are still security personnel here? Are they additional manpower for us?"
