Because the $20 million in funding that Ribbs applied for was not approved.
The Black Rabbit Security Company, which had just been prepared, had its operating license suspended by the police before it had a chance to start operations.
Soon, Police Chief Daniel called.
"Hey, Mr. Reeves, I'm so sorry!" Daniel said, "There's a little problem with your private security company license! I have to stop you for a while."
Ribs knew that Daniel must have thought that he was unable to fulfill his promise.
"Mr. Director! Let's put the license issue aside for now. There's no rush." Ribs said, "Just wait! I'll definitely take care of the funding!"
"I believe in your ability, Congressman. I'll hang up first and we'll talk next time!" Daniel said and hung up the phone.
Reeves returned home, lit a cigarette dejectedly, and began to think about how to deal with the Daly family.
At present, all Ribs knows about the Daly family is the rumors he heard from others.
He has never met anyone from the Daley family, and he doesn't know what methods the Daley family has used to control the entire Chicago political arena behind the scenes.
That night, when Irene returned home, she saw Reeves looking unhappy. She walked over to him and leaned against him, asking, "What's wrong? You've become a council member, but why are you unhappy?"
"Damn it, the Daly family is still haunting us!" Ribbs replied, "They hold a majority in Parliament and rejected my proposal. If this continues, I won't be able to accomplish anything even if I become a member of Parliament."
"After all, their family has been deeply rooted in Chicago for 200 years. You've only been a council member for a few days, so you definitely need some political experience," Irene said. "There's no need to rush into dealing with the Daley family. Take your time. Even the most powerful can have weaknesses."
Irene's words were well said, and they made Ribs feel a lot more relieved.
"Well...you make sense!" Reeves nodded and held her in his arms.
Among these women, although Irene is a strong woman, she is also the most understanding one.
Whenever something happens, she can always give Libus some advice, and her words of comfort always touch his heart.
Sometimes Ribs also needs a few mature women to give him some psychological support and comfort.
Such mature women are rare. On the other hand, that ocean-going Ma Keshia is just like a hungry cow...
For a period of time afterwards, Ribs did not propose any new proposals, but instead carefully observed several members of parliament.
Especially the Democratic Party-led Congressman Kim Saipan, who planned to use this guy as a breakthrough point to find some flaws in the Daley family.
This Jin Saiban was sneaky all day long, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. He disappeared after the meeting.
Moreover, his anti-tracking ability is very strong. Reeves sent several younger brothers to track him, but they all lost him in the end.
As a last resort, he had to spend some money to invite Jason Ding, a famous private detective in Chicago, to his office.
Jason Dine is a well-known figure in Chicago. It is said that there is no secret that he cannot discover as long as you pay him.
That afternoon, a middle-aged man wearing a black felt hat and a coat pushed the door and walked into the office.
Ribs saw that this man did have some detective temperament, so he asked him to sit down: "Are you Jason Dine?"
"Yes," Jason Dine replied, "You must be Senator Ribbs! What do you want from me?"
"The person I want to investigate is very dangerous. I don't know if you are capable of doing the job..." Ribs asked tentatively.
"Who? Could it be the Daly family?" Jason Dine asked back.
Ribs' heart skipped a beat when he heard this and he asked, "Can you investigate the Daly family?"
Jason Dine smiled and replied: "The Daly family themselves will not accept it for the time being. I don't want to risk my life yet. However, except for the Daly family, anyone else is fine."
"Do you know anything about the Daly family?"
"I only know a little bit, but their family can't investigate at all."
"I can't investigate. What do you mean?"
Jason Dine lowered the brim of his hat, looked ahead, and slowly said, "Mr. Ribs, have you ever met anyone from the Daly family? Any of them?"
Ribs shook his head and replied, "No."
"That's right," Jason Ding said. "The two brothers of the Daly family have been staying in their castle for over 20 years. No one has ever seen them outside the manor. Almost no one who has tried to approach the manor has survived. How can we investigate this?"
Ribs nodded, he knew a little about these rumors.
"Alright! I'm not investigating the Daley family. Look how scared you are!" Ribs said. "I'm investigating their lackey, Councillor King Saipan. Is that okay?"
"That's no problem," Jason Dine replied. "What do you want to know about him?"
"Everything. What he did, who he met, and...his relationship with the Daly family," Reeves replied.
"Yeah, okay! That's no problem, just give me some time!"
“Okay, Mr. Jason Ding, go investigate as soon as possible. Don’t worry about the money.”
Jason Dine nodded twice in agreement, then stood up and left the office.
Ribbs leaned back in his chair and began to look through the Chicago Council's agenda.
The Chicago City Government spends nearly $200 million on security every year for various large-scale gatherings, travel security for important figures, etc.
Naturally, there are not enough police officers, and the money is usually divided up among several private security companies.
The bidding will be at the end of next month.
If he could get the license for Black Rabbit Private Security Company before then, he might be able to catch up with this wave of bidding and make a fortune.
Just then, a call came in. It was from Callahan.
"Hey, Boss! Roy from the Supervisor Gang wants to see you!"
Reeves slapped his forehead. Fuck! He had been so busy setting up a security company these days that he had completely forgotten what he had promised the Supervisor to do to help Boss Roy!
Before the election, he promised Roy that if he was elected as a member of Congress, he would help Roy become the chairman of the Chicago labor union.
"Okay, okay! No problem! Where shall we meet?" Reeves replied immediately.
"Tonight, it's the same tavern as last time! Same time, same place!" said Callahan.
"Okay, no problem!" Ribs agreed and hung up the phone.
Late at night, in a dim pub.
Reeves took Callahan with him and met Roy, the boss of the Supervisor Gang again.
Roy spoke first: "Mr. Ribs, congratulations on your election as a member of parliament."
"Man! I remember it all!" Reeves replied, "Without the information you provided, there's no way I could have defeated Monroe! There's no way I could have become a senator."
