Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this Schedule 13D/A
(this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Original 13D Filings. Except as specifically provided herein, this
Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original 13D Filings. All capitalized terms used herein
which are not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Original 13D Filings.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Original 13D Filings is hereby amended and restated as
follows:
On December 10, 2021, Ruby Finance Investment Ltd. (“Ruby
Investment”), a shareholder of the Issuer, distributed in-kind a total of 7,294,541 ADSs of the Issuer to its shareholders on
a pro rata basis, subject to certain adjustments. After the completion of such in-kind distribution, Ruby Investment ceased
to own any equity interests in the Issuer. Global Pro B Limited (“Global Pro B”) received a total of 509,096 ADSs from
Ruby Investment in such in-kind distribution.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The fourth and fifth paragraphs of Item 5 of the Original 13D Filings
is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission
that Mr. Hongyi Zhou, for the purposes of Section 13 of the Act, is the beneficial owner of the 2,664,536 Class A Ordinary Shares in the
form of ADSs. Although Mr. Hongyi Zhou may be deemed to have shared investment power with respect to these 2,664,536 Class A Ordinary
Shares under Rule 13d-3(a), Mr. Zhou disclaims the beneficial ownership to these ADSs except to the extent his pecuniary interests therein.
By virtue of Global Pro B entering into the A&R SHA, Mr. Hongyi
Zhou may be deemed to constitute a “group” with Ruby Finance Holdings Ltd. (“Ruby Holdings”) within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act. As a member of a group, Mr. Zhou may be deemed to beneficially own the Ordinary Shares beneficially
owned by the members of the group as a whole. Neither the filing of this Amendment No.2 nor any of its contents, however, shall be deemed
to constitute an admission by Mr. Zhou that it is the beneficial owner of any of the 23,432,634 Class A Ordinary Shares that are beneficially
owned by Ruby Holdings. Mr. Zhou expressly disclaims beneficial ownership in such 23,432,634
Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Ruby Holdings.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my
knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
