At the end of September 2020, Chen Lei posted an accusation in his WeChat circle of friends and Twitter that Zhang Yubo, the current president of Xunlei, overturned the investigation findings of the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau through the Deputy Procurator-General of the Shenzhen Procuratorate and intimidated employees into perjury.

The Beijing News Shell Finance Correspondent once sent a letter with the contact information Chen Lei left behind. On September 27, the Beijing News Shell Finance Reporter received a reply, but there has been no response to the email since then. However, on October 8, a person familiar with the matter told the Beijing News Shell Finance Reporter that Chen Lei had deleted the above information posted on social networks. Moreover, Chen Lei has already deleted a large number of his previous comments on social networks.
