novelA Thin Layer of Sweat Formed Over Her Palms

After he successfully entered the FFID Building, Fu Huai'an installed an adapter on the surveillance server rack.
Subsequently, he took a look at the time and saw that it was time for him to enter the power supply room. He opened the power supply box and lit a cigarette, sticking a piece of chewing gum to stick the explosives to the middle of the cigarette. He then carefully placed it upon the connecting wires in the power supply box before closing the power supply box. Carrying a black and long backpack, Fu Huai'an went out from there.
If there was no wind, it would take 13 minutes for a cigarette to finish burning. Glancing at his watch, Fu Huai'an saw that there were still four minutes until Team F would be discovered. Fu Huai'an stuck the explosives slightly past the middle of the cigarette, so in about eight minutes, the explosives would explode and cut off all electricity in the building. Before that happened, Fu Huai'an had to find May Myint Yady and Marius.
Fu Huai'an went up the stairs with swift and nimble steps. He took off the uniform of the air conditioner repair company on the level right below where Derbykruder was, ducking into a storeroom where hygienic products were stored to do so. Through the surveillance cameras, he roughly understood the structure of the venue in which Derbykruder was holding the ball. He even found May Myint Yady and Marius's location!
Subsequently, Fu Huai'an took out his suit jacket and put it on, then squatted down and agilely assembled a gun and a silencer.
Fu Huai'an exited the storeroom dressed in a suit, giving off a mature vibe like that of a successful man, an invitation in hand.
The elevator didn't stop at the penultimate level, going straight to the highest floor. The minute the elevator door opened, Fu Huai'an saw that those who came to attend the ball were standing in a line waiting for their turn to undergo a security check.
Fu Huai'an stood at the end of the line, looking like he was waiting for his turn to undergo the security check. He calmly glanced at his wristwatch, calculating the time it would take for the sniper rifle to strike the chandelier.
There was 1 minute 20 seconds to go...
He watched as the chatting and laughing men and women handed their invitations over and passed through the security check. When there were just two people ahead of Fu Huai'an, everyone heard a gunshot and the sound of a chandelier smashing to the ground. Screaming could be heard everywhere inside...
Very quickly, someone came running out from inside. The people at the security check paused in surprise. They then pulled out their guns, only leaving behind two guards at the door as the others went against the flow of the crowd and ran inside.
Fu Huai'an also entered amidst the chaos.
Those who were injured by the chandelier that fell down had their injuries attended to at the side, whilst the vast majority of people surrounded the chandelier nearby and didn't leave, studying why the chandelier had suddenly fallen.
Derbykruder's subordinates were experienced, so they very quickly discovered the bullet hole in the tempered glass. After looking through the bullet hole, they immediately sent men to the top of the opposite building.
May Myint Yady and Marius were sitting on a soft sofa in a suite downstairs, chatting merrily with Derbykruder. When they heard the smashing chandelier and shrieks, they too were startled.
May Myint Yady had a bad feeling and subconsciously grabbed Marius's large hand.
Marius turned his head towards the frowning May Myint Yady. His other hand gently patted the back of May Myint Yady's hand as he asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
Seeing Derbykruder look in their direction, she smiled at him. She then turned her head and whispered in Marius's ear, "I have an uneasy feeling, why don't we leave first?"
Someone came from downstairs and said to Derbykruder, "We've handled the chandelier..."
Just then, Derbykruder's subordinate said by Derbykruder's ear, "When our men got to the opposite building, they found a sniper rifle but not a single person. There was wire corroded by something on the trigger. That person should have gotten into this building and mixed into the crowd. Sir, you should come with us and hide!"
Derbykruder's men worried that someone was targeting Derbykruder.
When Derbykruder heard this, he smiled calmly, then stood up and buttoned his suit jacket. He said, "The chandelier has been taken care of, sorry to startle everyone. I'll go and prepare the mysterious auction item for the end of today's ball. Please wait."
Derbykruder then followed his men and walked towards the living room...
Marius gazed at May Myint Yady and smiled."It's merely a fallen chandelier, no need to feel nervous over it! We came here for Derbykruder's so-called mystery auction item. The ball has yet to end, so how can we just go?"
May Myint Yady didn't want to embarrass Marius by disagreeing with him, so she smiled and nodded, but the uneasiness in her heart intensified.
Upstairs, Fu Huai'an saw that there were two bodyguards standing guard by the staircase leading downstairs. He smiled and walked over...
The two tall and burly bodyguards immediately gazed at Fu Huai'an suspiciously. Fu Huai'an walked to them and peered downstairs, but before he could speak, one of the bodyguards said, "Sir, downstairs is Derbykruder's personal area. Without Mr. Derbykruder's permission, you can't go down."
"If you're looking for the washroom, walk straight and turn right. A waiter will take you there..." said another bodyguard who thought Fu Huai'an was looking for the washroom.
Fu Huai'an smiled and nodded, then edged closer to the bodyguard."Tell Mr. Derbykruder that Mr. Du from Dubai is looking for him..."
The bodyguard stared at Fu Huai'an with a frown. He wasn't sure who Mr. Du from Dubai was, and he was hesitating about whether he should pass on the message for Fu Huai'an.
"Thank you!" The corners of Fu Huai'an's thin lips curled up. With one hand in his pocket, he gave off a powerful and intimidating aura.
Regardless of whether it was Fu Huai'an's clothes or his mature and powerful aura, it made the bodyguard sense that he was no ordinary person, so he nodded, his tone inevitably respectful."Please wait for a while!"
Fu Huai'an nodded, then turned around and pushed up his sleeve to glance at his watch, his fingers gently rapping against it...
Suddenly, it was pitch-black in the room, and the music had stopped. With the falling of the chandelier earlier and the sudden lights out in the entire building, after a momentary silence, there were shrieks from those who were timid.
Downstairs, May Myint Yady tightened her grip on Marius's hand, her red fingernails nearly sinking into his palm."Let's go back!"
"Baby!" Marius felt that May Myint Yady was being overly anxious. He grabbed her petite hand and pulled her, who had gotten to her feet, into his arms."What are you feeling nervous about?"
"It must be Fu Huai'an!" May Myint Yady couldn't conceal her horror, a thin layer of sweat formed over her palms.
"You're being overly anxious!" Marius gently caressed May Myint Yady's back and said in a low voice, "It's very safe here. This is Derbykruder's territory, so Fu Huai'an won't be able to enter! Moreover, the men we sent to keep tabs on Fu Huai'an have already surrounded him! If he did leave the hotel, we would be notified immediately. Don't mention the fact that it takes 20 minutes to get here from the hotel! If you're worried, I'll call them and ask!"
Marius then made a phone call. Hearing a confirmation that Fu Huai'an was in the hotel and had yet to leave, Marius said in a gentle voice to May Myint Yady, "See!"
May Myint Yady also knew that what Marius said made sense, but the uneasy feeling in her heart was increasing in intensity.
