Oliver immediately said, “Don’t be so nervous or anxious. Listen to me. We also want to cure Yancy of this disease, but I prefer to find out the cause. So, I want you to come over here. I’ll cover all your expenses and give you an additional remuneration of 20,000 dollars. Now, I’ll transfer you a deposit of 10,000 dollars immediately. Come and cooperate with us and verify it face-to-face with Yancy. No matter what the outcome is, I’ll pay you 20,000 dollars. What do you think about that?”

6222…”

Oliver picked up the pencil and exercise book used by Yancy on the table and wrote the numbers down. Once he jotted down the bank account number, he checked it with the man again, after which Oliver wrote the man’s name: [Diego Turner.]

“I’m going to hang up now and transfer the money. I’ll call you after that.” Oliver hung up and made a transfer to Diego’s account through mobile banking.
