Those familiar with Zhang Yangqing's style of doing things noticed the enigmatic curve at the corner of his mouth.

For example, longtime viewers in China would feel a chill run down their spines, because experience tells them that whenever Zhang Tianshi makes that expression, it means someone is about to suffer a great misfortune.

Even the chairman standing next to him felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Zhang Yangqing's smile. He absolutely did not believe that Zhang Yangqing was the kind of person who would be soft-hearted towards unruly children. These three little brats were probably going to be thoroughly subdued by this sixth brother.

Zhang Yangqing casually put down the tall boy he was carrying, and at the same time gave the chairman a look, signaling him to also release the other two. The chairman understood, let go, and the two boys fell to the ground, rubbing their necks in shock.

"Go check if the little one is alright, but don't scare him."

Zhang Yangqing said to the chairman, his tone sounding concerned.

The chairman knew perfectly well that the "checking on the injuries" was clearly a ploy to get him to keep an eye on the key boy with one white eye, and not let any potential "clue" slip away.

He nodded and walked steadily toward the boy who was still clutching the package and looked timid. His tall figure created an invisible barrier.

Zhang Yangqing beckoned to the three still-frightened boys, signaling them to follow, then turned and walked towards a relatively sparse but sufficient grove of dead trees to obscure their view.

The three boys exchanged glances, none daring to disobey. They could only hang their heads and follow along timidly like three quails.

Once they reached the edge of the woods and were out of the chairman's sight, the three boys were so nervous they dared not breathe.

Zhang Yangqing stood there quietly, his purple eyes looking at them calmly, but the invisible pressure made the three boys' legs tremble.

In the end, it was the tallest boy, who seemed to be the leader of the three, who mustered up his courage and spoke in a trembling, tearful voice: "Uncle, we know we were wrong, please let us go."

A faint, almost "amiable" smile appeared on Zhang Yangqing's face.

He leaned down slightly, looked at the three little ones, and asked in a persuasive tone, "Oh? You know you were wrong? Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

The three children looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

The tall boy tentatively replied, "We shouldn't steal other people's things, and we shouldn't hit people."

He thought he would be met with a severe scolding or even worse punishment.

However, Zhang Yangqing shook his head, his tone as calm as if stating a truth: "What's wrong with that?"

"Huh?" The three boys looked up at the same time, looking completely bewildered.

Zhang Yangqing continued in his unique, seductive voice, "The law of the jungle is the ultimate truth. You are stronger than him, so it's only natural that you want to get good things. What's wrong with that?"

The three boys were completely dumbfounded; their little minds couldn't process what was happening.

This uncle doesn't seem to be cursing at us?
Does he condone our theft? This is completely different from what they envisioned!

The tall boy even subconsciously felt that this uncle seemed kind of "cool"?
He even thought to himself: This uncle seems to be on our side.

Zhang Yangqing's domineering demeanor gave these domineering kids a sense of 'kindness'.

At the same time, the barrage of comments on the big screen in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room began to explode:
What are you doing, Master Zhang? Are you really trying to corrupt the children?
Oh no! The three future bullies of Undying Mountain are receiving instruction from the ultimate villain!
Children, run! This uncle is more dangerous than anything in the lake!
I feel that Master Zhang is not solving problems, he is cultivating them! "On the Correct Way to Raise a Bratty Child" – Speaker: Zhang Yangqing.

I can already foresee that these three little brats will become even more unruly in the future.

Just as the audience was questioning whether Zhang Yangqing was going down the evil path, Zhang Yangqing on the screen suddenly changed his tone.

He looked at the three bewildered children and continued, "I acknowledge your abilities, but your actions are somewhat foolish."

The tall boy was completely bewildered by Zhang Yangqing's unconventional style and subconsciously asked, "Uncle, what does this mean?"

Zhang Yangqing patiently "instructed" them: "Think about it, that kid just now, didn't you say he often finds good things by this dangerous lake? That means he has some special ability."
"You robbed him and beat him today. If he sees you again, won't he run away like a frightened rabbit? Maybe he'll even hide and never come to the lake again? Then, will you still be able to easily steal his things in the future?"

The tall boy seemed to be thinking, "That seems to make sense?"

Zhang Yangqing: "If you accidentally injure him badly, and he can't come to the lake anymore, or he loses his 'picking things up' skill, then wouldn't you be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, and end up with nothing?"

The tall kid seemed to have grasped a key point, but it wasn't quite clear: "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Yangqing smiled slightly and offered his core "strategy": "Why don't you think of a way to get him to hand over the things voluntarily?"

"Huh? How is that possible?" the tall boy blurted out, and the other two children shook their heads vigorously, thinking it was simply a fantasy.

That kid is very stubborn, how could he possibly give it to them willingly?
After playing for so long, he still hasn't handed it over, and he even offered to do so voluntarily. It's unbelievable.

Zhang Yangqing, with an expression that said "you are still too young," continued to explain in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "Look, if you hurt him, he will only be afraid and resent you. But if you change your approach, such as helping him and protecting him when he is bullied by others, wouldn't he feel grateful to you?"

Or, in order to continue receiving your protection, after he finds something good, will he voluntarily share some with you to maintain this 'friendship'?

He paused, giving the three children some time to process his thoughts, before throwing out a more "sophisticated" idea: "You can even act more concerned about his 'gains' than he is about them, for example, by telling him, 'There are too many bad people outside, and we're not strong enough to protect you and your baby properly. We really hate that we're not strong enough!'"

For his own safety, or perhaps moved by your 'sincerity,' wouldn't he work even harder to find more treasures to help you 'increase your strength' so that you can continue to 'take care' of him?

"In this way, he gains safety and 'friendship,' while you gain a continuous supply of treasures. It's a win-win situation and sustainable development, much smarter than your current method of robbing once and for all. Do you understand?"

This series of punches almost burned out the brains of the three kids!
They're just bears, not rotten to the core.

Their thinking is still stuck on simple robbery and bullying; they never thought of such a complex and "advanced" scheme.

The tall boy frowned, his face flushed, as he tried to process Zhang Yangqing's words.

Robbery → The other party escapes → Nothing to rob;

Protection → The other party's gratitude/dependence → Voluntary surrender → Always available.

His eyes suddenly lit up, as if a new world had opened up for him! So that's how it can be done! (End of Chapter)
