Speaking the Truth

Fang Xiaoxiao and Zhou Bin's expressions turned even uglier.

They knew Wang Haidong was right.

Federation law imposed strict regulations on the use of truth serum. It could only be requested when there was sufficient evidence proving a suspect's involvement in a major crime and no other means remained to obtain critical information.
