Yu Min drove us to the hotel. She said Ximen Wuwang was already waiting for us there.
She also told us that the highway inspections had turned up nothing. The other side had probably sent people onto the highway from Lin City to Jiang City, but they were likely just minor lackeys testing whether Great Xia would make any moves.
So Old Shu suspected that my mother and the others were still in Lin City. They just didn't know where they were being hidden. Unit Nine had already assigned more people to investigate, and there should be results soon.
There were some things the police might not be able to investigate conveniently due to various legal restrictions, but Unit Nine was different. They could act with much greater freedom in many matters.
After all, the Vatican's actions this time had endangered Great Xia's security, so whatever methods Unit Nine used would be justified.
