An employee in China shocked many by spiking a colleague’s drink with a “truth serum” on three separate occasions in an attempt to steal his work plan.

The scheme began when a man surnamed Li, from Shanghai, came across a so-called “truth serum” during a business trip.
The seller claimed, “Just a few drops will make people tell the truth.” This intrigued Li, motivating him to test its effects.
Although it remains unclear what type of company Li worked for and the significance of the work plans, he ultimately selected his colleague Wang as the test subject, intending to extract Wang’s plans through the serum.
On August 29, 2022, during a dinner in Xuhui District, Li secretly added the “truth serum” to Wang’s drink, mixing it with yellow wine and beer.

As a result, Wang experienced dizziness and altered consciousness, prompting him to seek medical attention on August 30 and 31.
