Chapter 80 Ex-wife Bai Yueguang 13 Too late to regret, the damage done is irreversible...
The child came suddenly.
She didn't find out until she was discharged from the hospital.
When I went to the hospital for another check-up, the child was already more than two months old.
At that time, she and Sheng Yu were in a cold war. Sheng Yu moved out of their home, and they had nothing to talk about even when they met, so she didn't tell anyone the news.
She was still thinking at that time that even if she was alone, she could still raise the child well.
I will not treat her like my mother and give her all the best things in the world.
But just one month later, Ali fell down the stairs due to being in a trance and lost the child forever.
Then, she personally handed the divorce agreement to Sheng Yu.
Ali opened his eyes and felt something wet on his face.
It was gloomy outside the tent, and snow was about to come. The team leader said that today was the last day in Jiangyuan, and everyone could move freely, but they had to tell him in advance, pay attention to safety, and not go too far away from the camp.
Ali borrowed a car from the team leader and went to a mountain not far away, from where they could see the mountain where they had observed the snow leopard from afar.
She took her camera with her, wanting to take one last look at them before leaving.
Ali spent an hour climbing to the top of the mountain, found a flat slope to sit down, and looked into the distance with a telescope.
But until noon, there was no sign of any animal on the mountain.
Ali sighed, perhaps he was destined to leave here with regrets.
Taking one last look at the mountains, she put her bag back on and headed down the mountain.
When I reached halfway up the mountain, I suddenly saw a few jumping shadows on the mountain not far away.
Ali immediately took out his camera and pointed it in that direction.
Perhaps it was the blessing of the mountain god, she actually saw the snow leopard family of three again. It was still the mother snow leopard with her two cubs, moving lightly and freely among the gravel.
Ali's heart beat faster and his hand holding the camera trembled slightly with excitement.
She readjusted the focus, but saw several uninvited guests in the camera.
They were several men wearing masks and hats. They were strong and wore faded camouflage uniforms. They were crawling in the grass in the mountains. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't detect their presence at all.
Ali's years of rich professional experience made him alert immediately.
She pressed the shutter button and moved the lens, and sure enough, she found two modified jeeps at the foot of the mountain, with several men smoking in the cars.
When the camera moved back, Ali finally saw clearly what the people on the mountain had in their hands: several black hunting rifles.
The snow leopard not far away was still unaware of the danger lurking around it.
Ali immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She tried her best to stay calm, wrote down the number of poachers, took pictures of their facial features and license plates, put away her backpack, and quietly ran down the mountain.
The terrain where she was was flat, with little vegetation around, so she could only try her best to hide her figure carefully.
Ali took out his cell phone while running down the mountain, but he couldn't remember the phone number of the reserve patrol team. In a hurry, he could only dial the most recent call.
“Beep, beep…”
The delay in the call made Ali more and more anxious, so much so that she only noticed the group of people when they appeared in her field of vision.
Ali immediately hid in a nearby bush, but the camera on his shoulder accidentally rolled down the cliff.
Perhaps because of the commotion here, the snow leopard on the distant mountain suddenly disappeared.
The sound of the camera falling also attracted the attention of the group. The air suddenly froze and they lowered their voices to speak:
"Did you see clearly that woman was filming us with a camera?"
"Absolutely true."
"Then we absolutely cannot let her go. Brothers, keep searching upwards. She must not have come down the mountain yet."
"Search carefully, don't let your boat capsize in this ditch."
The sounds of bullets being loaded rang out one after another. Ali, who was lying in the bushes, bit his lips tightly, and the smell of rotten leaves and soil filled his nostrils.
Seeing the footsteps of the group getting closer and closer, beads of sweat slid into his collar. Ali quickly hung up the phone, tremblingly fumbled for the recorder in his bag, and turned on the recording button.

In the camp.
Yan Xia sat in the team leader's car, staring blankly at the plane tickets on his phone.
Since she and Sheng Yu had broken off their engagement, there was no need for her to stay here any longer. Moreover, looking at the way Sheng Yu looked at Miss Xiao, staying here for another day would be a torture for her.
So, she booked a flight back to Qingzhou last night.
When the tour leader heard that she was leaving, he offered to drive her.
Before getting in the car, Yan Xia couldn't help but ask Sheng Yu if he wanted to go to the hospital.
Feelings for a person cannot be cut off just like that. Looking at his pale face, Yan Xia still felt sad.
Unexpectedly, he agreed.
Is it because Miss Xiao advised him?
Yan Xia smiled bitterly and looked at Sheng Yu who was not far away from the car. He was talking to the team leader.
No matter where she was, as long as he appeared, her eyes would unconsciously fall on him and she would no longer see anyone else.
The ringing of a cell phone interrupted Yan Xia's thoughts. She looked at the phone in her hand, but it was not hers.
After looking around in the car for a while, she found Sheng Yu's cell phone in the gap between the seats.
He must have dropped it on the car just now.
The phone was vibrating violently. Yan Xia subconsciously called out to Sheng Yu, but paused for the rest of the words when he saw the caller note.
When she came to her senses again, the screen was pitch black and the disturbing sound had completely disappeared.
Sheng Yu had come to the car window and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Yan Xia covered the phone and smiled nonchalantly: "Nothing, just asking when we're leaving."
Sheng Yu glanced at a place not far away. He hadn't seen Ali this morning. After asking the team leader, he found out that she had driven to the mountain by herself and hadn't returned yet.
Ali's words from yesterday still echoed in his ears: "Whenever I see you, I can't help but think of the child we lost..."
"Sheng Yu, how should I face you..."
Tears flickered in her eyes, and finally fell to the ground, shattering into silence.
"Sheng Yu? Sheng Yu?"
Hearing Yan Xia's voice, Sheng Yu moved his silent and empty eyes and turned away: "I'll go ask the team leader."
He had called Ali last night, but the call didn't go through. Today, he had to meet Ali and make things clear with her no matter what.
Sheng Yu slowly walked away, and Yan Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his hands holding the phone were full of sweat.
She hesitated for a long time, and slowly placed Sheng Yu's phone on the seat where he could see it when he got on the bus.
She hasn't returned to the Yan family yet, and everything could change. She doesn't want to cause any trouble at this time.
There shouldn't be any problem with Miss Xiao's call.
Yan Xia turned away his eyes, told himself this over and over again in his heart, and gradually relaxed.

At the moment when the sunlight was swallowed by the dark clouds, Ali heard the sound of a trigger being pulled.
Her back was pressed against the damp ditch wall, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Not long ago, while the group of people were not paying attention, Ali gritted his teeth and rolled down the cliff, landing in a hidden ravine at the foot of the mountain.
Although she tried her best to choose a gentler direction, her body still felt like it was falling apart, with sharp pains all over her body. Her feet were in severe pain, and she couldn't move.
She touched her cell phone in her bag, but found that it was broken. She couldn't ask for help, so she could only hide here and wait for an opportunity.
The group was still searching on the mountain. Ali waited for a long time. The wound on his foot had gradually become numb, but fortunately he moved and could barely walk.
She found the direction where she had parked her car before and moved carefully. Just as she was about to approach the car door, a loud gunshot was heard behind her.
"Bang--"
Sheng Yu, who was speeding on the winding mountain road, also heard the gunshot. He turned the steering wheel sharply and stepped on the accelerator even deeper.
The leader's anxious and terrified voice came over the intercom: "Mr. Sheng is in danger! Don't act rashly. I've already notified the patrol team, and they're rushing there at full speed!"
"Mr. Sheng! Mr. Sheng!"
In the car, Sheng Yu pursed his lips tightly, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were almost crazy.
Faster, faster.
Five years ago, he failed to catch her flight and lost her.
Five years later, he would never let that happen again.
Before the poacher fired his second bullet, the sound of the car engine cut through the sky, raising a cloud of dust.
When Ali looked up, she saw an off-road vehicle rushing towards her.
"Lower your head!"
Sheng Yu's voice mixed with the squeal of brakes rang in her ears. She subconsciously curled up, and the bullet grazed her head and shot into the car door behind her.
The off-road vehicle drifted sideways and stopped beside her in the blink of an eye, blocking the poacher's gun and sight.
“Get in the car!”
Sheng Yu opened the car door and extended his hand to her. Ali seized the opportunity and used all her strength to get into the car.
Just as they were about to escape, the gunshots from the poachers behind them rang out one after another. Several bullets shattered the car windows, and the flying fragments scratched Sheng Yu's tense face.
Ah Li, still terrified, grabbed the car window and ducked deep into the car window. "Why are you here? It's so dangerous here..."
The off-road vehicle rushed forward madly, and Sheng Yu suddenly turned the steering wheel sharply and turned a corner quickly.
Seeing the group of people getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, he wiped the blood off his face and said, "You are here."
"It's okay, we've gotten rid of them." He whispered soothingly.
Ali slowly sat up straight and looked back, and sure enough, the group of people were no longer there.
She almost collapsed in her seat, her fingers still shaking uncontrollably.
Sheng Yu couldn't see her condition and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt? I'll take you back right away!"
Ali shook his head, then thought about how he couldn't see, and sat up again: "I'm fine, just a minor injury."
"How did you know I was here?" Ali's mind was still in a tense state, and he could only distract himself by talking.
Seeing her expression, Sheng Yu sped up the car again: "You called me before you got into trouble. Yan Xia told me so."
After a violent jolt, the car rushed onto the road. Sheng Yu continued, "They found the location of your phone."
Ali looked at him, his eyes flashing: "Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
This time, Sheng Yu was unusually silent for a long time.
Ali felt mixed emotions and turned to look out the window.
A biting cold wind blew in through the window, and the two people who had just escaped death were surprisingly quiet at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the scenery outside became more and more familiar, and they were approaching the camp.
"If it were her," Sheng Yu finally spoke, a barely perceptible sob in his voice, "if she were in heaven and saw that Daddy didn't protect Mommy, she would definitely be very sad."
A trace of surprise flashed across Ali's face, followed by endless grief.
Sheng Yu almost murmured, "She's so small, alone there, how scared she must be."
She was so quiet from the time she came to the time she left, and he, the one who was supposed to protect her forever, only realized it too late.
Belated regret is like a blunt knife, grinding against one's internal organs bit by bit. They may appear intact, but in fact they are riddled with holes.
It's too late to regret.
Damage can't be undone.
