If the case of mysqli, you are returning an instance of mysqli_result. You should fetch the result of the query with mysqli_fetch_row, for instance:

$sql = 'SELECT count(leads_ID) FROM table1';
$result = $db_conn->query($sql);
return $result ? mysqli_fetch_row($result)[0] : 0;

Also note that you shouldn't re-connect to the database on every function call. Whether use persistent connections, or make a wrapper class (a database abstraction layer) connecting to the database only when necessary (something like if (!$this->connection) $this->connection = $this->connect();) and disconnecting in the __destruct method, for example. With these considerations in mind, you should modify your function as follows:

function getnumberRows() {
    $db_conn = getConn();
    if (!$db_conn) {
        return 0;
    }

    $sql    = "SELECT count(leads_ID) FROM table1";
    $result = $db_conn->query($sql);

    // You should normally do this in a database abstraction layer
    // $db_conn->close();

    return $result ? mysqli_fetch_row($result)[0] : 0;
}

<p><a href="agentAllLeads.php">All leads <?php echo getnumberRows(); ?></a></p>
