There are bats almost everywhere in the world, including Wuhan. The question isn't bats, but bats carrying sarbecoviruses related to SARS-CoV-2, not just betacoronaviruses. Dr. Shi herself has stated that she didn't expect such bats anywhere near Wuhan:
> We have done bat virus surveillance in Hubei Province for many years, but have not found that bats in Wuhan or even the wider Hubei Province carry any coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV-2. I don't think the spillover from bats to humans occurred in Wuhan or in Hubei Province.

I've responded to you with this link before, and you didn't reply. It begins to feel like you are willfully disregarding all evidence contrary to your predetermined view, which is unfortunate.
