Lu Da secretly didn't want Mayor Ma to get involved in his family's affair, as he could cover things up if anything went wrong. But if the other party was involved, he would be restricted in his actions and would find it inconvenient.
"Old Lu," Mayor Ma said, "this is no trivial matter. I think we should go take a look together, so we can discuss whatever comes up."
If it had been anything else, Mayor Ma probably wouldn't have bothered. But the pig farm was tied to his own vested interests, and after Lu Xinlong's actions, he no longer trusted him.
A slight dread settled in Lu Da's heart—this meant a lack of trust.
When he caught sight of Lu Xinlong's quail-like demeanor and saw Mayor Ma's distrustful gaze, his anger flared. He lashed out with a kick at Lu Xinlong.
"It's all your fault, you worthless fool! Tempted by a woman, I'll beat you to death!" Lu Da said, fuming.
