If it is not using it then your DAL can return anything it won't matter.

public class Manager
{
    public Manager(DAL data)
    { 
        this.data = data
    }
    public void ListCount()
    {
        data.ListCount(1); //Not doing anything with return value
        DoingSomeOtherStuff();
    }    
}

If your list count is doing something with the value you should then put assertions on what it is doing. For exemple

Assert.IsTrue(manager.SomeState == "someValue");
