You can use this query
SELECT t1.* FROM first_tbl AS t1
LEFT JOIN second_tbl AS t2 ON t1.order_number = t2.order_number
WHERE t2.ID IS NULl
And it will return only the 333333
record
See this DB fiddle for example
This is how it would look in CI:
$this->db->select("t1.*")
$this->db->from("first_tbl AS t1");
$this->db->join("second_tbl AS t2 ", "t1.order_number = t2.order_number", "left");
$this->db->where("t2.id IS NULL");
var_dum($this->db->get()->result());
