Four "heavens" had always weighed upon Shi Tiexin's heart.
He Pingzhang used power to crush others and influence to bully them. For a long time, he had kept Shi Tiexin from stretching himself freely. That was the Heaven of Power pressing above his head, and now Shi Tiexin had shattered that heaven with a single punch.
Beyond Power Heaven, there were also Dao Heaven, Black Heaven, and Force Heaven—the three remaining heavens.
Black Heaven and Force Heaven could be set aside for now.
The so-called Dao Heaven referred to none other than Liu Qigang.
The oppression Liu Qigang brought Shi Tiexin was even greater than He Pingzhang's.
He Pingzhang was merely a bully who preyed on the weak. Knock him down, and he was down. Having defeated one such bully, even if Shi Tiexin encountered more and stronger bullies in the future, he could simply replicate the successful experience. The fire of courage would always burn fiercely, leaving no fear in his heart.
But Liu Qigang was different.
Liu Qigang had never directly oppressed Shi Tiexin. Even after their argument that day, he had not deliberately found an excuse to expel Shi Tiexin. One could even say that Deputy Director Tao's small side channel for ghostwriting business cards had gone unquestioned by Liu Qigang, which counted as a measure of help.
The greater reason for that little bit of tacit approval was to give Si Chongtian face. Yet it could not be denied that Liu Qigang himself was not like He Pingzhang, constantly flaunting his arrogance and tyranny, deliberately making things difficult for those beneath him.
But that did not mean he was a "good person."
His arrogance ran deep in his bones.
His theories about the "low-born" and the "Suffocating Generation" were even more suffocating than He Pingzhang's oppression.
