The serve he did wasn't a let or not even a warning, but immediately gave Ma long a point. You can hear the umpire say 'foul' or something similar
It's in chinese so i can't understand what is going on here.

Hi Aaron,
The umpire calls "Fault". I think it is because he doesn't remove his left hand from the area between the ball and the net.
The service rules requires a player to remove their arm from that area so that the receiver can see the contact of the ball.
