When the two sisters arrived at the conference hall on the first floor, they were stunned by the scene inside.

The entire hall was packed with people. The large conference room, which could accommodate five hundred people, was almost completely filled.

Surveying the attendees, based on their attire, there were armed police, permanent troops from Chang'an Prefecture, precinct chiefs from various districts, and some in white shirts who were likely from government departments.
