She hurried to the bedside and glanced at Xia Qiuming, whose face was flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bending over, she reached out to feel Xia Qiuming’s forehead and asked, \"This hot? Why didn’t you call me sooner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At f-first, he was only a little warm. I tried using a cold towel to help Professor Xia cool down, but who knew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Wu was about to say more but was cut off by Gu Jiaojiao. \"Any later,\" she said sternly, \"and his brain would have been fried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Ziquan and his two servants...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pictured the brilliant Professor Xia’s fever turning him into a fool. The consequences were truly unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shan was so anxious he was on the verge of tears. At his wit’s end, he asked, \"Miss Gu, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll give him a fever-reducing shot and some medicine. The fever should break in ten to twenty minutes, and then he’ll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao said, her voice softening when she saw that Mu Ziquan and the other two seemed frightened by her serious demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With deft movements, she took a fever reducer from her backpack and gave him an injection with a syringe that was already prepared by the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she fed him some more fever-reducing medicine mixed with spiritual spring water—a concoction she had prepared the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all that, she reached out to touch Xia Qiuming’s forehead again and said, pleasantly surprised, \"His fever’s already gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Xia’s brain isn’t fried! Thank the heavens! Thank all the benevolent spirits for their blessings...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Miss Gu.\" Mu Wu thanked Gu Jiaojiao sincerely, then turned and roared at Mu Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mu Shan, are you an idiot? This was all Miss Gu’s doing! Why are you thanking spirits instead of her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Mu Wu is right,\" Mu Ziquan said, looking at Gu Jiaojiao. \"We failed to take good care of Professor Xia. I’m sorry to have worried you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Ziquan gave Mu Wu an appreciative look, then looked at Gu Jiaojiao and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Xia’s condition makes him susceptible to high fevers. It’s not that you didn’t take good care of him. I was just a bit too frantic earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Xia just broke out in a sweat. Go get a basin of warm water and help him wash up. I’ll watch over him for the rest of the night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Jiaojiao spoke, she walked over to Mu Ziquan’s bed, reached out her right hand, and touched his forehead. Thankfully, he didn’t have a fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sudden approach caught Mu Ziquan completely off guard, and he squeezed his eyes shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps closing his eyes made his other senses more acute. Her faint, sweet scent made Mu Ziquan’s heart flutter violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried his best to control himself, but he couldn’t stop a few shudders from running through him. The more flustered he became, the more violently he shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? You don’t have a fever. Is the room too cold? Why are you shaking like you have the chills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao muttered to herself in confusion. The warmth of her breath brushed against Mu Ziquan’s neck, making his own breathing turn hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his eyes were closed, he didn’t dare speak. He, who usually prided himself on his excellent self-control, was now utterly routed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Gu, look!\" Mu Shan cried out from the other side of the bed. \"Is our Young Master about to get a high fever? His face is so red!\" Mu Wu, who was helping Xia Qiuming wash up, heard him and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn’t have a fever,\" Gu Jiaojiao said definitively after taking Mu Ziquan’s pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe his blanket is too thick.\" As she said this, Gu Jiaojiao moved to pull it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m... not hot... It’s my leg. It hurts.\" Mu Ziquan quickly grabbed the corners of his blanket. ’If she lifts this and sees my... reaction, I’m done for!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao said sheepishly, \"No wonder I couldn’t find anything wrong when I took your pulse. Damn it, I was being careless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His face was flushed red from the pain, and I didn’t even notice. I was busy wondering what kind of illness this was!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I even thought he was just shaken by Professor Xia’s high fever!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reproaching herself, Gu Jiaojiao immediately turned and walked toward Xia Qiuming’s bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a painkiller made with spiritual spring water from her backpack and handed it to Mu Shan. \"Here, give this to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right away!\" Mu Shan eagerly ran over to take the pill, then turned and quickly poured a cup of warm water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skillfully fed the pill into Mu Ziquan’s mouth, and the fragrant medicine pill slid down his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, the pain in Mu Ziquan’s leg vanished completely. \"Miss Gu, did you make this painkiller?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. I’ve already handed over the formula to the relevant government departments.\" Gu Jiaojiao didn’t tell Mu Ziquan that she had given the formula to the Xiao Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, I didn’t know Old Mu back then. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring the Mu Family into the electronics business in the future.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once your leg has healed, let’s partner up and get into electronics manufacturing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Mu Ziquan said, casually laying on the flattery. \"Going by how effective your medicine is, Miss Gu, my wound will heal much faster than with anything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve got a good eye. This special medicine of mine heals wounds twice as fast as ordinary ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course, she didn’t dare mention she had a miracle cure that could heal wounds instantly. A medicine that defied the natural order like that... she’d never dare bring it out in public!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s what happened with Su Shuochi. He was healed in a flash. A little over an hour after his surgery, he was already up and walking briskly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Xia Qiuming said in a booming voice, having changed into a fresh hospital gown and looking full of life again. \"With normal medicine, I would’ve had to wait two more days before I could even have liquids. But I already had juice today! I’m convinced your medicine is better than any of those high-end imported drugs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop thinking everything from abroad is better,\" Mu Ziquan finally found a chance to jab at Xia Qiuming, seeing both patients looking so lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shan, just to make conversation, piped up, \"Miss Gu, I’m with you practically every day, but I didn’t recognize you at all with your makeup on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, when I’m in disguise, forget you—my own mother wouldn’t recognize me,\" Gu Jiaojiao laughed, pleased with herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile was dazzling. A gentle breeze from the window set her dark hair dancing, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Ziquan’s gaze deepened as he watched her. \"But I recognized you in an instant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch! You already knew my Master was the esteemed ’Miss Gu.’ Of course you’d recognize her when she walked into your own hospital room,\" Xia Qiuming scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, Professor Xia has a point. If I’d been in the room, I would have recognized Miss Gu, too,\" Mu Shan added, ever the simpleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would recognize her even out on the street,\" Mu Ziquan insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, I don’t even know if Su Shuochi could recognize me at first glance out in public, let alone any of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, Miss Gu! Even your husband wouldn’t recognize you?\" Mu Wu asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly added, \"I certainly didn’t recognize you, Miss Gu. Not even right here in this room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. You’re such a blockhead, who do you recognize besides the Master and the Young Master? Now hurry up, go wash some apples and make some juice for Miss Gu and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shan didn’t stay idle after his outburst; he was already busy preparing some malted milk for Mu Ziquan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right away. Miss Gu, would you prefer apple juice or mango juice?\" Mu Wu asked respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make a few glasses of apple juice for yourselves. I’ll have mango juice,\" Gu Jiaojiao said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-03T03:31:20.892Z","2026-06-03T03:31:25.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c0a5a32fd0539ea5c52b697c5d6c1d551b64d9950c4df26185781f8fac52f3d","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-404","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-402",635,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fback-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-cover.jpg"]
