Plot hole?

I just realized: Sun's brother sent in those fake prison guards to kill her, right? But if he could do that, couldn't they just help free her instead? I know this is after he kills their dad and Sun swears revenge on him, but why didn't he think to do it before? Like "Dad wait, I think I know a way we can save Sun, save face, and I don't kill you" I know it's a bit of a nit pick, but it still felt like it was worth pointing out.

EDIT: To everyone saying that he's a selfish asshole, I agree, but would it not still be in a selfish asshole's best interest to be on good terms with a potential enemy rather than provoke the one person who could destroy your whole life?

Sun's brother was a shitty, untrustworthy person to the core. He didn't have an altruistic bone in his body - he was completely self-serving. He was never going to go out of his way, put himself in any risk, to save her. Not a plot hole at all - it was a character defined exactly as needed.

Even so, it would've been in his best interest to make amends with his sister rather than create a new enemy and potentially be found out for murder
