Jill replied, "Yes, Miss. This person won the Northel Biology Prize last year and is the youngest PhD in biological research to receive the award. JQ doesn't have a clear picture of him, but Northel has a group photo of him with other winners. However, there are too many people in the photo, so it's not very clear. These photos were posted online at the end of last year after the news about him keeping Bai Qianmo as a mistress exploded in the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, the photos were taken from a distance."
Lisa held up the group photo of the Northell laureates and examined closely the man marked in red.
"This person looks...so much like my fifth brother!"
Lisa discovered the key point, and Jill, who was standing next to her, actually had the same idea.
"I was very surprised when I received the photo. This gentleman's figure and appearance are very similar to Fifth Master. Recently, Fifth Master seems to have been in close contact with the Gu family. Gu Jueye is said to have gone to Kunlun Mountain more than a month ago and has been missing ever since."
Lisa fell into deep thought.
She followed her fifth brother to China, and vaguely heard that her fifth brother came to China for the "Blue Ocean" project.
The "Blue Ocean" project is an export trade initiative launched by China with the full support of the nation, and it is also a crucial juncture for the global economic shift in the next decade.
Therefore, both O state and the Americas are keeping a close eye on this project, and the Chinese domestic market is also paying close attention to the progress of the Blue Ocean project.
The Gu family is very interested in linking China and O State, but even if the "Blue Ocean" project is important, Fifth Brother wouldn't have come all the way to China in person.
She always felt that her fifth brother had hidden a secret message, and that he had actually come to find that bitch Bai Qianmo.
"What's so good about this bitch? So many men are infatuated with her, and even though they know she has an ambiguous relationship with Gu Jueye, Fifth Brother doesn't seem to mind at all."
It was as disgusting as a plate of food she thought was spoiled, but the people at the table were eating it with relish.
“Young Miss, the more I look at Fifth Master, the more I see the resemblance to this Gu Jueye. Do you think that with Gu Jueye's recent disappearance and Fifth Master's sudden arrival in China…”
When Jill voiced her suspicions, Lisa was immediately enlightened.
Could it be that Fifth Brother is impersonating Gu Jueye?
Upon closer reflection, this is quite possible.
The Gu family's influence in politics is unshakeable. Whether it's people in China or overseas, if they want to get involved in the Blue Ocean Project, contacting the Gu family first is undoubtedly the safest move.
Thinking of this, the doubt that had been lingering in my mind for many days was suddenly resolved.
"Send someone to carefully inquire about Fifth Brother's movements in China these past few days. Also, investigate the relationship between Bai Qianmo, Gu Jueye, and the Gu family."
"clear!"

Gu Family Old House
After seeing Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo off.
The two elderly people sat in front of the chessboard in the tea room.
"You've been frowning all morning, are you thinking about A-Ye?"
Old Madam Gu held a white chess piece in her hand and remained silent for a moment.
"Since Seventh Brother came back this time, I feel that his personality is a bit different. Can you tell?"
Old Gu placed a black piece into the chessboard.
He said, "Perhaps he suffered a lot in the Kunlun Mountains. Almost all of his men were brothers who grew up with him. Suddenly, they all perished there, leaving no survivors. It's not surprising that his personality changed."
Madam Gu nodded: "Although Seventh Brother always downplayed the Kunlun Mountain incident, he must have suffered a great deal of torment."
Old Gu suddenly thought of something and paused for a moment.
While under house arrest by Gu Tingjun, Huo Zhaoyuan showed him a video of Aye being imprisoned.
Old Gu was certain that the person in the video was his grandson.
But yesterday, when he called A-Ye to his study and brought up the matter, he said that A-Ye had not been captured by the Huo family.
In other words, the video was likely fabricated by Huo Zhaoyuan with the aim of getting him to hand over the Gu family seal.
Reason told him he should listen to what his grandson had to say.
But that video keeps flashing through my mind.

Gu Jueye returned to the research institute
There were already people waiting there from the office.
Bai Qianmo looked at the four men sitting in the first-floor reception room.
My gaze swept quickly over them. The four men looked to be around the same age as Fifth Brother, each with their own unique appearance, the kind that would attract girls' attention if they walked down the street.
"Seventh Brother, you're really not a good brother. You've already come back safely, but you're hiding from us and refusing to see us," Du Muchen said first.
Ji Cong'an followed up with a tirade: "Do you know how worried we were about you? We were afraid you'd freeze to death or be eaten by wild animals in the Kunlun Mountains. Now, whenever I see meat on the table, I can't help but think of your torn body, which has made me eat vegetarian food for the past month."
"My lord, FK is still waiting for you to take charge. Although the Huo family failed to take over FK through Gu Tingjun this time, they also discovered some traitors among the higher-ups. I brought you the list today. We're just waiting for you to call a shareholders' meeting and teach these bastards a lesson."
Xie Siming then looked at Bai Qianmo, who was standing silently to the side.
"You all start criticizing the Duke as soon as you see him, forgetting that there is a patient who has just recovered from a serious illness beside you?"
At this moment, the other three turned their gazes to Bai Qianmo.
Ji Cong'an subconsciously touched the back of his neck.
Ever since Bai Qianmo knocked him unconscious with a single chop, his neck has been feeling numb and tingly from time to time for the past few days.
