Like holy hell they even have the Southern Branch Base with no lights on all the time.

The IRL explanation is that the kids have to know who the bad guy is. Gai was somewhat like this, too during Q1. He assists the heroes, yet you can call he's the bad guy.

Plus, I don't know if it's just how Angela Mei is acting, but it seems more like she's just tired and annoyed than she is actually conniving and evil. This whole war has been going on for more than ten years now, so it wouldn't be at all suspicious to the other swordsmen that she acts like this. Plus, in my opinion, she makes some compelling enough arguments to get emotionally unstable folks like Rintaro and Ren riled up. I think it's done well that it's Ogami and Daishinji whom are somewhat distrustful of her, going so far as to go out scheme behind her as well.
