It likely has a mini PCIe slot that is occupied by the wifi/Bluetooth adapter.

You should see here to understand the risks of attempting to use an eGPU with this system:

I do not advise this course of action. For the cost of an eGPU, you would be well on your way to save for a new, more capable rig.

I found out my laptop's model. It is

Pls confirm whether it has a mini pci slot of wlan card.

Yes, that was figured out earlier and the previous answers apply.
