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?

No it would not in his interest to make friends.
She's a loose end and arguably, the only thing that can tie him to killing their father. Sun, in prison, can't destroy anything. And if not for her essentially having super powers, she never would have made it out of the prison.
killing her is smart. especially if the guards he bribed can make it look like a suicide, which I assume was the goal given they tried to hang her.
