3578: A New Addition (194)

A New Addition (194)

"Father said that this child is his own, one who grew up outside the family. But from what I know, it's unlikely that this is his own child!"2

"So you suspect it's Youyou?"

"Yes, that was what I suspected initially!" Gong Jie analyzed further. "By coincidence, I heard about the appearance of this child in the Gong family, after Youyou went missing. It's said that my father had arranged for him to recuperate on a private island. This means that this child wasn't in good health. These characteristics match Youyou's."

"But all these are rumors." Mu Yazhe further asked, "Do you have any concrete evidence?"

Jiang Shen and Lu Jinyu listened quietly by the side, unable to voice any opinions.

Gong Jie continued, "Gu Jinglian just returned from North Africa. He's the only person so far who has seen that child and lived!"

"What do you mean?"

"The Gong family has an order in place. Anyone who has seen the child's true appearance is already dead. This means that Father has protected him well. Therefore, no one knows what he looks like or who he is." Gong Jie frowned and continued, "Recently, the Hurricane Group acquired Wirth. Word has it that this was a forced acquisition. Logically speaking, with Gu Jinglian's personality, he would never give up that piece of land. I guess Gong Fan must have used something to threaten him and forced him to sign the agreement. As for why he didn't kill him, I don't know either."

"Can you be sure?"

"I can't be sure. That is why I didn't tell Shishi about it immediately. I'm worried that if that child isn't Youyou, it'll be another disappointment!"

Mu Yazhe nodded as well. "Before this matter comes to any conclusion, we'll hide it from her for now."

"Wait…" Gong Jie suddenly stood up and suddenly thought of something as his expression turned solemn.

Mu Yazhe noted that Gong Jie suddenly looked troubled. Hence he did not speak, so as not to disturb the man's train of thoughts. He must have identified some useful clues again!

Gong Jie suddenly turned around and fixed his gaze on him. "Lisa! Alice!"

"What?"

"I remember that for a long time, Alice hadn't been at the headquarters. After Youyou went missing, she disappeared from the headquarters. I have no idea where she went. If Youyou was indeed taken back to the Gong family by Father, then he must have been injured. In addition, his poor health needed management. Given these, he would have needed someone skilled in medicine to take care of him at all times."

"Alice is a doctor?"

"Well, she's the medical genius of the Hurricane Group."

"Who is Lisa?"

"She used to be my staff, later on I had assigned her to Youyou as his personal bodyguard. I haven't seen her in a long time."

Mu Yazhe said, "If we can find Alice and Lisa, it might lead us to some clues."

"I can't track Lisa, but Alice is in the Hurricane Group right now. If I asked her, I might be able to get some information."

Mu Yazhe nodded.

…

Gong Jie left the capital and took a private plane back to the Hurricane Group's headquarters overnight.

Gong Shaoying was not on the island but he found Alice. When he saw her, she was in the laboratory analyzing some drugs. Alice was surprised to see him.

"Why are you back here?"

Gong Jie grinned and said, "To have a drink with you. Why? Are you busy?"

Alice was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and replied, "How could that be? It would be most unreasonable to reject Sir Gong Jie's invitation."
